Improving Charge Nurse Conflict Resolution Communication Using Artificial Intelligence

Completed
Conditions
Conflict Resolution
Registration Number
NCT05594394
Lead Sponsor
Methodist Health System
Brief Summary

Nurses are being challenged to provide increasingly complex care with more inexperienced nurses due to higher rates of retirement and registered nurse (RN) turnover in general.

High-performing charge nurses with excellent interpersonal, conflict management, communication, and leadership competencies are vital to achieving optimal outcomes. Implementing a charge nurse leadership development program focused on improving communication competencies in conflict management situations can support a healthy work environment.

Detailed Description

Freedman (2019) asserts that "interpersonal conflict in nursing workplaces is a pervasive and complex phenomenon, with implications for patient safety and quality of care" (p.594). First-time leaders seldom receive adequate training for effective transition to leadership roles, with 60% reporting having no training (Gentry, Logan, \& Tonidandel, 2014). Furthermore, many novice leaders struggle with transitioning from peer to leader, specifically related to interpersonal and communication skills (Basogul, 2020; Radovich, et al., 2011).
