Conflict Management NURS 412 Transition into Professional Nursing Practice – Clinical Bowie State University Dr. Birthale Archie DMP, MSN, BS, RN Assignment # 1 – Conflict Negotiation – Lab Simulation Through role-play and discussion, this lab simulation will help students practice problem-solving skills, communication techniques and effective conflict resolution management. Scenario: Three nurses are assigned to write a new policy together. It soon becomes obvious that one team member has not been doing his/her part of the assignment due to increasing work demands. One of the members has called this meeting to discuss and resolve the situation to write the policy. Roles: Nurse 1: Joyce Nurse 2: Chiomsy Nurse 3: Agnes Scene 1: Joyce and Chiomsy are in the conference room about to commence with the meeting on the formation of a new policy. Agnes attends the meeting late and has not yet done her part of the assignment. Dialogue Joyce: Agnes this meeting was supposed to have started 30 minutes ago. Why are you late ?. Agnes: I’m sorry I had a very difficult patient that made me spend more time, hence my late arrival to the meeting. Chiomsy: Ok that’s understandable. However, have you done your portion of the assignment. You know it is due before Friday. Agnes: I actually have not started my own part of the assignment, I have been quite busy with work demands. I barely have time off during my shifts. And when I get home I can’t continue clinical activities because I have family and other demands that I have to worry about. Chiomsy: Agnes you really have to manage your time properly in order to be productive towards your input in writing this new policy. Each person’s input is very necessary here. Agnes: Do you have any suggestions on how I manage my time ? Chiomsy: I Suggest you plan your day out in advance. Make a list of everything you must get done today. Then, make a note of how long it will take and rank the jobs in order of importance. Start looking at tasks and seeing when you have time in your day to get one or two items done. When you have a few minutes, complete a task that you can get done in that time. You can also ask for help from another nurse, to reduce the workload and save time. Lastly be sure to delegate tasks appropriately. Remember that you can’t do it all, nor should you have to. Remember the five rights of delegation in nursing; right orders, right instructions, right skills, right tools, and the right time frame. By doing these, you are most certainly going to have time to do your portion of the assignment. Agnes: Thank you so much, I will definitely implement this when I get back to the unit. By the next meeting, I will have my assignment ready. Thanks. Joyce: Agnes do you feel that Chiomsy’s suggestion will help you in managing your time ? Agnes: Yes I feel it will be very helpful. Joyce: In that case I think our new policy should be on time management. I greatly believe that it is a challenge and a lot of nurses in the hospital are experiencing difficulty in managing time. During the next meeting the three nurses agree upon and come up with a policy to be implemented in their unit Policy Solutions ● Implement teamwork and Collaboration; always voice out when you need help. ● Prioritize and focus on the most important task first. ● Plan your day out in advance ● Learn how to cluster care
● Take a break when needed ● Have at least two days to rest and do other things ● Learn how to delegate tasks Leadership Style Transformational Leadership- The transformational leadership style is similar to the coach style in that it focuses on clear communication, goal-setting and employee motivation. However, instead of placing the majority of the energy into each employee’s individual goals, the transformational leader is driven by a commitment to organization objectives. Communication is the key to getting work achieved. Transformational leadership was implemented in this scenario through the ability of the nurse leader to recommend a solution to the other nurse’s problem whilst focusing on both the achievement of a communal vision and personal development on the long-run. The solutions that were recommended do not just solve the immediate problem at hand, but also helps to encourage, inspire and motivate the employee to innovate and create change that will help grow and shape the future success of the company. Transformational leaders have to be purposely driven. They identify the needed change, guides the change through inspiration, and executes the change with follower commitment. Conflict Resolution Strategies Collaborating Collaborating is the method used when people are both assertive and cooperative. A group may learn to allow each participant to make a contribution with the possibility of co-creating a shared solution that everyone can support. A great way to collaborate and overcome conflict is to reach  out and touch them. Discussion: Effective communication is vital to therapeutic nurse-patient relationships. Nursing Conflict Resolution/Management.
The nurse has an instrumental role in content delivery of a message due to the huge responsibility of relaying accurate, clear, and concise information to the multidisciplinary team as well as to the client. Consequently, conflict happens between clients, colleagues, and even intrapersonal conflict relating to issues of ethical concern. During clinical, conflict management techniques were presented and analyzed to determine which techniques were appropriate based upon hypothetical Circumstances. Overton & Lowry stated that frequent causes of conflict include “a lack of clarity of expectations and guideline, poor communication, lack of clear jurisdiction, personality differences, conflicts of interest, and changes within the organization” (2018). The aforementioned scenario involves conflict caused by an organizational change. Behaviors influenced by the results of conflict can include bullying, limited communication, and violence whether it be verbal threats or physical assaults (Overton & Lowry, 2018). The article, “Conflict Management: Difficult conversations with Difficult People”, the authors summarized some common ideologies linked to conflict management models. Firstly, conflict is inevitable with pros and cons resulting depending on how conflict was managed. Secondly, with active engagement instead of avoidance, positive outcomes result. Thirdly, motivation is a key element in all parties involved—to address conflict. Nursing Conflict Resolution/Management.
Additionally, self-awareness of one’s own reactions should be acknowledged and the environment to resolve conflict should feel safe and remain Unbiased. The nursing managers recognized conflict early instead of avoiding the situation between staff members. They consulted with their team members whilst providing a safe, confidential, and neutral environment. After conversing with their team members individually, each manager engaged their staff to brainstorm ideas to present to the hospital administration with alternative solutions. Brainstorming with team members helps aid in unification of members, finding commonalities and helping one to feel like their needs are being heard (Overton & Lowry, 2018). Once everyone has shared their preferred solutions, the managers present the agreed notion to the administration. The plan included a timeline and a follow-up plan to help aid the administration to consider their alternative solution. Since a plan without a timeline and or follow-up plan isn’t implemented, behaviors will only change for a period; thus, returning to old patterns (Overton &Lowry, 2018) and the goal/result wouldn’t be accomplished successfully. Consequently, an unsuccessful result could potentially alter any future consideration from the administration if another policy change were implemented where collaboration would cease to exist.
