Concept Analysis: Collaboration
A concept analysis can provide guidance when a concept of interest is vague, not well defined, or does not have sufficient literature (Foley & Davis, 2017). A concept analysis seeks to give clarity to a concept of interest. There are different methods used in exploring a concept analysis in nursing. An approach commonly used is the Walker and Avant theory of concept analysis.

Collaboration was identified as one of the eight essential elements of doctoral education for advanced nursing practice. It is a necessity for the safety and well-being of patients (DeCapua, n.d.). …show more content…
The concept analysis of collaboration was chosen due to its importance to the POI. When antibiotics are prescribed effective communication and collaboration between the patient and their health care providers are crucial. The patients, their doctors, nurses, and pharmacists should work jointly to ensure that the correct antibiotic, duration, dosage, and route are prescribed. The healthcare providers should confirm that the directions were communicated effectively. And evaluate the patients understanding on the proper usage of the antibiotic. Studies highlight the interactive role of medical, pharmacy and nursing staff in ensuring safe and effective use of medicines (Kamarudin, Penm, Chaar, & Moles, 2013). If the patients, doctors, nurses, and pharmacist all collaborate there would be a reduction in antibiotic misuse. This reduction would decrease the negative outcomes associated with the
