ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Hintergrund: Obwohl die Vorteile von interprofessioneller Betreuung belegt sind und Schwangere in der Schweiz die Wahlfreiheit haben, wird die Mehrzahl ausschliesslich von ärztlicher Seite betreut. Ziel: Darstellung von ExpertInnenwissen zu Einflussfaktoren auf das Gelingen bzw. das Misslingen von interprofessioneller Schwangerenvorsorge durch Hebammen und GynäkologInnen. Forschungsfrage: Wie sieht Best Practice in der interprofessionellen Schwangerenvorsorge durch Hebammen und GynäkologInnen in der Schweiz aus? Methode: Fünf teilstrukturierte Gruppen- und Paarinterviews mit sechs Hebammen und fünf Ärztinnen, die in der Schweiz interprofessionelle Schwangerenvorsorge durchführten. Diese wurden transkribiert und anhand der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Es werden Inhalte zu den Best Practice Themen Werte, Wissen und Kontext geliefert. Ein neues Thema, zwischenmenschliche Ebene und Arbeitskultur, wurde als zusätzliches Element einer gelingenden interprofessionellen Schwangerenvorsorge erkannt. Schlussfolgerung: Es gibt nicht 'die beste' Organisation interprofessioneller Schwangerenvorsorge. Wichtiger ist ein Konzept, welches alle Beteiligten vertreten, und eine gute zwischenmenschliche Beziehung. Die Umsetzung bringt politische, ökonomische, gesellschaftliche und organisatorische Herausforderungen mit sich. ABSTRACT Background: Although the advantages of interprofessional care have been proven and pregnant women in Switzerland have free choice of caregivers, most of them are cared for exclusively by physicians. Objective: To collect expert knowledge on the factors determining success or failure of interprofessional collaboration between midwives and gynaecologists within antenatal care in Switzerland. Research question: What does best practice look like in interprofessional antenatal care provided by midwives and gynaecologists in Switzerland? Methods: Five semi-structured dyadic and group interviews with six midwives and five gynaecologists who provide interprofessional antenatal care in Switzerland. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and qualitative content analysis was applied. Findings: Content was provided to topics of best practice like values, knowledge and context. A new topic, interpersonal relationships and workplace culture, emerged as an additional element for the success of interprofessional antenatal care. Conclusions: A "best" internal organisation for interprofessional collaboration does not exist. More important are a clear concept, supported by all participants, and good interpersonal relationhips among caregivers. Implementation presents political, economic, social and organisational challenges.
