Thus, if each professional were aware of the activities pertaining to his/her role and that of others, nobody would be bothered by other people's work. Furthermore, clearly defined roles help reduce the stress felt by those professionals who take responsibility for the tasks of others, and the nursing staff would no longer feel like they are constantly having to prove their professional worth and credibility. Thus, their professional self-esteem would be enhanced.
De manera que si cada profesional conociera las actividades concernientes a su rol y al rol de los demás, nadie se sentiría molesto ante las actuaciones del otro, se eliminaría la vivencia de estrés referida por aquellos profesionales que asumen tareas que competen a otros, y la enfermería - como colectivo - dejaría de tener la sensación de tener que mostrar constantemente su valía y credibilidad profesional, lo que contribuiría a aumentar la autoestima profesional de los enfermeros.
