Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...
Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.
Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare management
  • Midwifery practice
  • Quality improvement in women's services

Background:

  • The Making it Better (MiB) program involved significant reorganization of women and children's services in Greater Manchester.
  • Midwifery supervision faced the dual challenge of maintaining service safety and quality while addressing the emotional well-being of staff during reconfiguration.
  • A need was identified for a dedicated space for midwives to process changes and contribute to a positive future direction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide midwives with an opportunity to reflect on their experiences and contribute to future service planning during the Making it Better reorganization.
  • To strengthen midwives' resolve and professional identity as advocates for women and the midwifery profession.

Main Methods:

  • A consultation with midwives identified their need for a non-clinical environment to discuss the reconfiguration.
  • A study day titled 'Midwives building a future within reconfiguration' was developed and delivered.
  • The study day facilitated sharing of experiences and future plans among participating midwives.

Main Results:

  • Midwives expressed a desire for a dedicated forum to discuss the impact of service reorganization.
  • The study day provided a platform for midwives to share experiences and articulate future aspirations.
  • Participants reported strengthened resolve to continue advocating for women and the midwifery profession.

Conclusions:

  • Providing dedicated spaces for dialogue and reflection is crucial for supporting midwives during healthcare reconfigurations.
  • Empowering midwives to share experiences and contribute to future planning can enhance their professional advocacy and commitment.
  • The study day successfully fostered a sense of collective resolve and professional identity among midwives facing service changes.
