Conflict is inevitable-- at work, at home, and in our personal and professional relationships. But the conflict is often not the issue; it’s how we manage it. In patient care settings, heightened emotions can result in challenging encounters and confusing communication: for patients, caregivers, and providers. Learn about conflict causes, types, and styles, as well as its potential drawbacks and benefits. Assess your conflict style, identify different conflict approaches, and learn to skillfully navigate differences.
Objectives:
- Assess your personal conflict style as a healthcare professional/social service provider-- identify patterns, approaches, past successes, and challenges.
- Define conflict. Identify and experience different types of conflicts and their causes. Review different conflict resolution methods and how they can impact relationships with clients/patients
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using different conflict management tools when working with a patient/ client and their family
- Identify and experience different conflict management skills. Identify different ways that clients deal with conflict. Learn how to tailor your approach and style to specific clients, their families, and their needs, and how to optimize the outcomes
