1School of Nursing and Health Care Leadership, University of Washington, Tacoma, Washington.
Background:
Teaching conflict resolution skills in nursing education is essential for managing complex health care dynamics. Traditional methods often fail to engage students effectively. Narrative strategies, such as unfolding comic narratives, offer creative engaging alternatives.
Method:
Faculty created visually rich unfolding comic narratives depicting conflict scenarios in hospital settings. Students identified conflict management styles, completed analysis work-sheets, and participated in discussions.
Results:
Students demonstrated an enhanced ability to identify and analyze conflict management styles within real-world scenarios, as observed through their active participation and discussions during the activity.
Conclusion:
The integration of unfolding comic narratives proved to be a valuable and effective pedagogical tool for enhancing student engagement and understanding of conflict management strategies in nursing education.
