The conflict styles exhibited by Robin, Kathleen and Jane are dysfunctional, where the goals of the meeting are not met and the relationships are negatively impacted (Adler, Rosenfeld, & Proctor II, 2013). Robin seems to believe that he will not gain anything from this group meeting. His requests to avoid further responsibilities seem to fall short when Kathleen states that they all have to “suck it up (Nursing & Healthcare Leadership, 2015).” Adler, Rosenfeld and Proctor II (2013) describe oppositional conflict as group members that see each other as adversaries and believe that the goals of the group will only be met by each sacrificing something at their expense. Robin does not seem willing to sacrifice in this meeting and agree to extra work and meetings and views Kathleen and Jane as opponents that he must contend with in order to get what he wants from the meeting. In contrast to Robin’s …show more content…
Jane states “We called this meeting across departments to see how we can make this easier on everyone,” and Kathleen states “I suppose we should do something like group process and see where how things are for everybody, where your department is in this process,” and these statements demonstrate a willingness to come together to discuss a common problem and negotiate a resolution that all will accept (Nursing & Healthcare Leadership, 2015). Kathleen and Jane do not view the other group members as opponents, but rather as partners and they are trying to control the situation and not each other in order to achieve a common goal. (Adler, Rosenfeld, & Proctor II, 2013). Despite the attempts by Kathleen and Jane to foster integration, the group dynamics and conflict resolution fall short of
In the conflict presented in New Graduate Nurse Orientation, we see that there is a new hire to the floor. Recently graduating from nursing school Helen really wants to fit in with the fellow nurses on the unit. Helen wants to belong to the unit as a whole and is looking to her preceptor Ashley as they one to help facilitate not only her transition from nursing school to the unit, also the transition to being a part of the unit through the camaraderie of the fellow nurses on the unit. What Helen begins to learn is that there is a hierarchy on the unit, which Ashley is in the so called “in crowd”. Throughout Helen’s orientation, Ashley is constantly on her cell phone dealing with personal issues, or a way from Helen when she is need of guidance with alarms and equipment that she is unfamiliar with. Helen being new did not know what she needed or did not need in orientation. When approached by a more seasoned nurse that is not in the “in crowd” as to

Teamwork and collaboration in healthcare delivery are “top of the mind” issues and government reports have called for improved collaboration among healthcare professionals as a key strategy in healthcare renewal (Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, 2006, p. 10). The term team defines a collection of individuals who are interdependent in their tasks, who share responsibility for outcomes and who manage their relationships across organizational borders (Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, 2006, p. 8). Moreover, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) believes that interprofessional collaborative models for health service delivery are critical for improving access to client-centred health care in Canada (CNA, n.d. p. 1). This paper will discuss a care scenario, Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) framework, TeamSTEPPS framework analysis, strategies to promote collaborative leadership and interprofessional communication with outcomes, strengths and limitations of

Shameless is an American TV series based on the self-destructive and dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a single father of six children. The program is set in Chicago and illustrates a story of an alcoholic father who spends his day getting drunk, while his kids learn to take care of themselves. Fiona, the eldest daughter, takes responsibility upon herself at the age of 15 to become the caretaker of the family both physically and financially. Although the Gallagher’s do not have the structure of a nuclear family, they still hold the functionalist perspective of having a matriarchal family system, with the sister leading the family. They fit with the functionalist theory, however not in the generic stance of having a mother and a father
Having worked individually for two papers so far, I think we should all be able to have access to each other’s articles – so we are able to know which ones to pick for the final group presentation. Given our PICOT and clinical questions, my two questions that I think would help guide our group work would be: 1., What specific violence-preventios program would help curb nurse incivility? 2., Having known the causative factors (etiology) and solutions (therapy) of nurse incivility, what are the ways to promote it, in ensuring that the suggested solutions are strictly adhered to?

Samantha Stiernagle Chapter 11 Case Study: Charles Cheryl is a 15-year-old, born to the name of Charles, who feels trapped in the wrong body. Ever since Cheryl understood the difference between boys and girls, she has felt trapped in the wrong body. She was born as a male; however, she identifies as a female. Her doctor referred her to a psychologist because they are looking to go forward with her treatment. Therapy is to make sure that Cheryl is psychologically healthy as she undergoes her adjustment to the opposite gender.
Healthcare is a dynamic, ever-changing environment. The complex circumstances around daily conversations that encompass life-threatening decisions are critical. In order to deliver high quality care, individuals must be able to communicate effectively. In the perfect world of communication, everyone receives the exact same information and is able to respond the exact same way. Unfortunately, communication breakdown is a prevalent issue among hospitals. On any given day of the hospital arena, multiple interactions take place. Some of the dialogue is planned, and some is not. While hospital departments are living in different silos within the same organization, the cultures may vary among the employees. Hospital leadership fosters the importance of collaboration within the organization and depends on the employees to ultimately drive the process. In order to overcome communication barriers in the workplace, conversations must occur. Engaging in daily face-to-face meetings with employees increases positive work culture, morale and overall productivity.
When working in a team conflict is inevitable (Tillett & French, 2006, p. 1). The Diversional Therapist must be aware of conflict resolution, which is a problem solving technique, which allows teams to work towards a resolution (Tillet & French, 2006, p. 2). The Diversional Therapist must have the ability to manage and identify conflict, this results in enhanced group performance (Murayama, Ryan, Shimizu, Kurebayashi & Miura, 2015, p. 88). The Diversional Therapist must be aware of conflict management styles, which are often chosen unconsciously, based on patterns of behaviour and habits (Wertheim, Love, Littlefield & Peck, 2006, p. 11). Understanding the conflict resolution styles allows individuals to decide how they think about the issue and how they respond (Wertheim et al., 2006, p. 8). On the day of the event conflict may arise, and the Diversional Therapist must work to quickly resolve it. Resolving conflict sooner ensures the problem cannot escalate making it more difficult to resolve (Wertheim et al., 2006, p. 5). Resolving conflict will allow the Diversional Therapist and their team to examine problems, release tension, encourage communication and allows for all group members to be aware of needs, preferences and wants of other members within the team (Tillet & French, 2006, p. 16). The Diversional Therapist must also be aware of underlying cultural
Defending the weak and helpless has always been a large part of Robin’s morals, which is greatly shown throughout the story. For example, when speaking with Maid Marian at the feast in the woods, he shows her the part of his woods that is dedicated specifically to sheltering and feeding the homeless and poor. This is considered chivalrous because neither the Sheriff or Prince shows enough concern to provide a fair amount of care for everyone in the land, so
Imagine having your dream job, and being with the partner of your dreams, living a fairy tale life. What more could you ask for?

With this contrast, it is no wonder that misunderstandings can occur between these two generations. These misunderstandings can cause the team to work poorly together and can affect patient care and outcomes. It is important for staff nurses and management to be aware of the potential problem and when conflicts do occur management should quickly intervene getting the issue out in the air (Vincent,
