Finding #19
Doctors valued the contribution of nurses in collaborative practices when this reduced their own workload.
Assessment for each CERQual component
Methodological limitations	Minor concerns because 4 studies did not report reflexivity; 1 study did not report ethical consideration. However, these may not have influenced the findings.
Coherence	Moderate concerns because most of studies stated that contribution of nurses in collaborative practices reduced doctors workloads, but in 2 study doctors reported that as a result of practice nurse services, their working hours had not changed.
Relevance	Minor concerns, as 4 regions were represented and majority of data are related to HIC.
Adequacy	No or very minor concerns.
Overall CERQual assessment
Moderate confidence	Due to minor concerns about methodological limitations and relevance; and moderate concerns about coherence.
