      ab: Interprofessional teamwork is touted as essential to positive patient, staff, and organizational outcomes. However, differing understandings of teamwork and divergent professional cultures amongst healthcare providers influence the success of teamwork. In labour and delivery, nurse-physician teamwork is vital to safe, family-centered maternity care. In this focused ethnography, the perceptions of obstetrical nurses were sought to understand nurse-physician teamwork and the features that facilitate or impede it. These nurses acknowledged working in a normative hierarchy, with physicians ultimately responsible for patient care decision-making. They described myriad ways in which they navigated traditional power dynamics and smoothed working relationships with physicians, such as circumventing disrespectful behaviors, venting with each other, highlighting their own autonomy, using tactical communication, and managing unit resources. According to these nurses, key facilitators of functional nurse-physicians relationships were time, trust, respect, credibility, and social connection. Further, the nature of their working relationships with physicians influenced their perceptions regarding intent to stay, workplace morale, and patient outcomes.
