Resistance01:19

Resistance

5.5K
When a current moves through any conductor, the conductor causes some level of difficulty for the current to flow. The measure of that difficulty is known as the resistance of the material and is represented by R. Every material has its own resistance. In the case of conductors, heat is emitted whenever a current passes through them. Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material. Resistivity is a characteristic of the material used to fabricate electrical components, whereas the...

Ohm's Law01:19

Ohm's Law

1.9K
Resistors are fundamental components in electrical circuits, often manufactured from metallic alloys or carbon compounds. They model a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current, a characteristic that is crucial in controlling and regulating electrical power within a circuit.
This current-resisting behavior of resistors is governed by Ohm's law, which states that the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

Ohm's Law

6.8K
Many materials exhibit a simple relationship between the values of current, voltage, and resistance, known as Ohm’s law. The current that flows through most substances is directly proportional to the voltage applied to them. The German physicist Georg Simon Ohm (1787–1854) was the first to demonstrate experimentally that the current in a metal wire is directly proportional to the voltage applied. Any material, component, or device that obeys Ohm’s law, where the current...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

36.7K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Resistivity01:22

Resistivity

4.3K
When a voltage is applied to a conductor, an electrical field is generated, and charges in the conductor feel the force due to the electrical field. The current density that results depends on the electrical field and the properties of the material. In some materials, including metals at a given temperature, the current density is approximately proportional to the electrical field. In these cases, the current density can be modeled as:

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness01:14

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.4K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Resistance is frequently cited as a barrier to practice change in healthcare literature.
  • Empirical evidence detailing resistance as a barrier within healthcare organizations is limited.
  • A clear operational definition for resistance is needed for nurse leaders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a concept analysis of resistance.
  • To develop an operational definition of resistance for nurse leaders.
  • To explore the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of resistance in healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Walker and Avant model for concept analysis.
  • Conducted literature searches across CINAHL, PsychARTICLES, and Google Scholar.
  • Analyzed existing literature to define the concept of resistance.

Main Results:

  • Defined resistance as an individual's behavior in response to perceived or actual threat, aimed at maintaining baseline status.
  • Identified mistrust, fear, and communication barriers as antecedents that amplify resistance.
  • Resistance impacts the implementation, quality, and sustainability of healthcare changes.

Conclusions:

  • Resistance is a normal human response to threats, not inherently negative.
  • Nurse leaders equipped with knowledge of resistance can mitigate negative impacts.
  • Understanding resistance allows for better adaptation and successful implementation of practice changes.
