Background This study shows how emotions are expressed in a trauma team setting and assesses their influence and importance with regard to team performance. The term ”Team emotion” can be interpreted as the emotions that trauma team members do/do not display in a trauma receiving unit. Health care professionals are expected to refrain from showing emotion in the presence of patients and colleagues, but at the same time these emotions have a provable effect on teamwork.
