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,...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

1.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Psychology of Healthcare

Background:

  • Uncertainty is a constant in healthcare practice, impacting practitioner well-being, patient-centered care, and resource utilization.
  • Developing uncertainty tolerance is recognized as vital for healthcare professionals, yet practical guidance is scarce.
  • Existing training frameworks increasingly emphasize the need for uncertainty tolerance development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide practical, evidence-based approaches for enhancing uncertainty tolerance in healthcare learners.
  • To address the gap in practical strategies for cultivating adaptive responses to uncertainty in medical education.
  • To offer actionable tips for various stakeholders involved in healthcare training.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify relevant research findings.
  • Authors' extensive educational experiences were integrated into the development of practical tips.
  • Tips were categorized for different target audiences: learners, educators/supervisors, and institutions/systems.

Main Results:

  • Twelve distinct tips were developed to promote uncertainty tolerance among healthcare learners.
  • The tips are divided into three sections: for learners, for educators/supervisors, and for institutions/systems.
  • Each tip includes a summary of supporting research and practical applications for educational settings.

Conclusions:

  • Effective strategies for developing uncertainty tolerance involve balancing support with challenging experiences for learners.
  • The proposed tips provide a feasible framework for healthcare education stakeholders to cultivate uncertainty tolerance alongside core competencies.
  • Developing learner uncertainty tolerance is achievable and essential for modern healthcare practice.
