Obedience01:08

Obedience

32.9K
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,...

Cognitive Dissonance

32.6K
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...

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

712
Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information. For example, a nurse who listens actively and without judgment provides clear information about health conditions and treatment options and respects patient decisions, which builds a trusting relationship.
Communication between nurses and...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

1.8K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Social Sciences
  • Disability Management

Background:

  • The Return to Work (RTW) process involves multiple stakeholders.
  • Coordinators play a critical role in facilitating worker recovery and reintegration.
  • Understanding coordinator perspectives is key to optimizing RTW systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how Canadian Return to Work coordinators (RTWCs) frame their professional roles.
  • To analyze RTWC job roles beyond standard helping norms in worker recovery.
  • To understand the discourse used by RTWCs in the complex RTW system.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing in-depth interviews with 47 RTWCs across Canada (2018-2019).
  • Critical discourse analysis applied to examine RTWC perspectives on workers within the RTW system.
  • Analysis focused on how coordinators viewed workers in a multi-stakeholder context.

Main Results:

  • Four distinct RTWC role framings identified: trust builders, experts, detectives, and motivators.
  • These roles reflect the coordinators' systemic positions.
  • RTWC discourse contributed to a moral hierarchy, valuing worker motivation and potentially framing some workers as exploitative.

Conclusions:

  • RTWC roles involve significant power and discretion in case management.
  • Further investigation is needed on how RTWCs exercise judgment in weighing evidence.
  • Ensuring objective and fair case management by RTWCs requires scrutiny.
