BACKGROUND: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) not only benefits the multiprofessional team, but also has the potential to improve patient outcomes. Understanding the roles of health professional colleagues can lay a strong foundation for IPC, particularly in settings where timely procedures are crucial. AIMS.: This study aimed to analyse perceptions of IPC among nurses and radiographers working in acute care settings. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative study involving online focus groups of nurses and radiographers working in acute care. The data collected were analysed through thematic analysis. FINDINGS: Four dimensions emerged from the analysis - organisational dimension, cognitive dimension, individual dimension and relational. Each represented a well-defined area and could be divided further into subthemes. CONCLUSION: The four dimensions influence IPC among nurses and radiographers in acute care. Improving the factors identified and implementing changes can have a positive impact on patients' quality of care.
