WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT

I recently conducted a Work Environment Assessment to evaluate workplace civility in the acute psychiatric inpatient unit. The results of the assessment painted a mixed picture. On the positive side, most staff members consistently exhibited professionalism and respect in their interactions with colleagues and patients. Team collaboration during shift handoffs and interdisciplinary meetings was generally effective and respectful.

.However, the assessment also revealed challenges. There were instances of incivility during high-stress situations, such as patient crises or when dealing with challenging patients. Communication breakdowns occurred when staff members were overwhelmed, leading to frustration and occasional conflicts. Some employees expressed concerns about a lack of adequate resources, contributing to heightened tensions ((Abt et al.,2021)

.Overall, the workplace in the psychiatric inpatient unit could be characterized as moderately civil. While there were numerous examples of professionalism and respect, the high-stress nature of the environment occasionally led to lapses in civility. In my personal experience, I encountered incivility during a team debriefing following a challenging patient case. The charge nurse became frustrated with a staff member she believed had not followed protocol during the crisis, leading to a heated argument in front of the team.

This situation needed urgent action to stop any further deterioration. The parties could speak freely and with less hostility because of this one-to-one discussion. The clinical supervisor subsequently mediated the process, delving into the underlying issues to devise an alternative means of communication between the two parties. The latter included conflict resolution/communication training that was introduced in advance. An acute psychiatric inpatient unit is a high-stress healthcare setting where it is essential to deal with incivility simultaneously to maintain a therapeutic and civil working environment (Mabona et al.,2022).

A nurse uses the World Health Organization’s definition of health to provide care. Which area will the nurse focus on while providing care?

1. Making sure the patients are disease free

2. Making sure to involve the whole person

3. Making sure care is strictly personal in nature

4. Making sure to focus only on the pathological state

Discussion Post-Team Work

Describe a form of interdisciplinary collaborative care you’ve seen on your current assigned clinical or work site. Then have a discussion about the following questions:

  • Who coordinated that care? What was the nurse’s role in ascertaining that the care was provided?
  • Was the patient’s outcome met? How or why not? What would you, a novice nurse-leader, have done differently to achieve the patient’s goals?

Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide evidence-based rationales  citation and references for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.

Ricky, age 4 years, arrives in the clinic with his mother. Ricky lives with his mother and father, who both work full-time, and his infant sister. Their extended family lives in a different state more than 100 miles away. Both parents are of average height and in good health. Ricky’s mother mentions that Ricky often expresses frustration, particularly in regard to food. Conflict over food occurs every day. Mealtime is a battle to get him to eat, unless his mother feeds him. Ricky’s baby sister seems to tolerate all baby foods but requires her mother to spoon-feed. Ricky’s mother is quite frustrated and concerned that he will become malnourished. Reflective 

Questions

1. What additional assessment information would you collect? 

2. What questions would you ask, and how would you further explore this issue with the mother? 

3. In what ways does the distance of the extended family influence this family’s approach to health promotion? 

4. What factors would you consider to determine whether malnourishment is a factor in this family?

As you learned from the chapter, reading, and video lectures, the cost of health care is a major concern in the US. As we discussed, value-based models promise to bend the cost curve in the right direction. The article you read by Erickson et al (2020) is mostly from the point of view of physicians so it is always a good idea to think critically about articles like this. Do you think that the authors present solid arguments in favor of what they propose? Do you think their point of view is similar to what you read and think about ways to decrease costs while increasing quality? Do you think that their point of view considers other health care-related professions?
