| Abstract | Background: Effective communication among healthcare professionals is critical in trauma care to ensure timely interventions and improve patient outcomes. This study examines communication practices among nurses, radiologists, and psychologists in a tertiary hospital, identifies barriers, and explores strategies to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used, involving 150 participants (60 nurses, 40 radiologists, and 50 psychologists). Data were collected through structured surveys, semi-structured interviews, and non-participant observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data. Results: While overall communication effectiveness was rated moderately high (mean: 3.8 ± 0.8), significant barriers included time constraints (72%), professional silos (53%), and limited interdisciplinary training (65%). Facilitators such as regular interdisciplinary meetings and the use of shared electronic medical records enhanced communication efficiency. Effective communication was associated with improved patient outcomes, faster diagnosis, and better interdisciplinary trust. Conclusion: Addressing communication barriers through structured frameworks, training programs, and technology integration can significantly enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and patient care in trauma settings. |
