Summary
Conflict management education using the Fogg model significantly improved medical students' attitudes toward conflict. This innovative approach enhances preparation for collaborative healthcare teams.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Healthcare Team Dynamics
- Conflict Resolution
Background:
- Healthcare team collaboration inherently involves conflict.
- Effective conflict management training is crucial for enhancing healthcare team performance.
- Medical students require specific training in conflict management for future practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of Fogg model-based conflict management education on medical students' attitudes.
- To compare the effectiveness of the Fogg model with conventional teaching methods.
Main Methods:
- A randomized controlled trial involving freshman medical students at Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
- Participants were divided into an intervention group (Fogg model education) and a control group (conventional teaching).
- Attitudes toward conflict management were assessed using the Conflict Management Attitude questionnaire before and after the intervention.
Main Results:
- The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher post-test attitude scores compared to the control group.
- Analysis revealed significant improvements in total attitude scores and specific subscales (2 and 3) post-intervention.
- ANCOVA confirmed a statistically significant increase in overall attitude and subscale scores following the Fogg model education.
Conclusions:
- Conflict management education utilizing the Fogg model effectively enhances medical students' attitudes.
- This model-based educational strategy offers a creative method for teaching conflict management skills.
- Implementing the Fogg model can better prepare future healthcare professionals for collaborative team environments.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

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,...

01:14Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance
51
Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.
