An integrative review analyzed the perception of NPs and physicians working in primary care settings. The aim of this study was to evaluate these relationships in order to understand the success of collaboration and factors that strain these relationships. Multiple barriers were identified partly due to the autonomy of the NP. Furthermore, physicians who have never worked with NPs found more negative attitudes collaborating with NPs. Both NPs and physicians report concerns collaborating, but also value advantages.Unfortunately, a collaboration between NPs and physicians is a slow process, however, more exposure to this collaboration can help overcome these barriers.
