| Yhteenveto: | The ageing of people with disabilities and the evolution of their situation imply an increased need for support and care. In institutions for persons with disabilities, social education and health professionals are increasingly called upon to work together within socio-educational teams. This article investigates collaboration between social educators and nurses working in residential social care institutions for persons with disabilities in French-speaking Switzerland. Thirty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted with employers, social educators and nurses regarding recruitment practices, the division of labour and collaboration among professionals. Our study pointed out two modalities of division of labour in the participating institutions and the issues they raise: “formal distinction” that involves a difference between social educators and nurses and “no formal distinction” that makes no differences at a formal level between these professional groups. Results also highlight the positive collaboration between social educators and nurses, areas of tension and influences on interprofessional collaboration. |
