Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Health system, grade: A2, Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: This paper spotlights several empirical thoughts on team development and conflict management in relation to the Nigerian healthcare setting. The subject of conflict is gaining more interest among stakeholders in all spheres of life. There’s been various perspectives owing to the roles often played by conflicts at the national and international levels. The focus of this work; however, is limited to conflicts within an organization – specifically the healthcare organization in Nigeria. Team development has been studied and characterized by organizational theorists and administrators as it concerns organizational performance. In the healthcare setting, maintaining highly functional teams has been advocated for many reasons including (a) the prevention of avoidable adverse events partly due to inadequacy of communication channels among clinicians. (b) The avoidance of unnecessary waste and cost due to a lack of clarity in purpose. (c) Decreasing the risk of medical errors as a result of the incompetence among the team of healthcare professionals. In the Nigerian context, experts have also identified some barriers to effective team development. The Nigerian healthcare sector has perennially suffered from the outcomes of conflicts among various stakeholders that make up the overall healthcare system. In view of these negative consequences of such conflicts (for example industrial action leading to termination of healthcare services every year); there’s been a rise in the phenomenon of medical tourism among certain privileged segments of the Nigerian society, leaving the majority of the population vulnerable.

Conflict within interprofessional collaborative healthcare teams, when not effectively resolved, has been linked to many detrimental consequences, including a decrease in overall team performance, a reduction in job satisfaction, serious risk of injury, and even death to patients. However, effective conflict resolution has been shown to enhance team performance, increase patient safety, and improve patient outcomes. Alarmingly, knowledge of healthcare professionals' ability to resolve conflict has been limited in the research literature, largely due to the challenges that arise when researchers attempt to observe a conflict occurring in real time. However, investigating healthcare professionals' perceptions of their ability to resolve conflict (i.e., their self-efficacy) provides a justifiable method for understanding conflict resolution ability. The purpose of this study was to investigate three central components of conflict resolution (i.e., communication competence, education and training, and problem-solving ability) found in the research literature to influence healthcare professionals' perceived ability to resolve conflicts that occur among interprofessional collaborative healthcare teams. This study employed a quantitative, exploratory, non-experimental, cross-sectional survey design. Correlational analyses revealed statistically significant relationships between all three central components--communication competence, education and training, and problem-solving ability--and healthcare professionals' perceived ability to resolve conflict. A multiple regression analysis demonstrated that two of the three central components--education and training and communication competence were found to be statistically significant predictors of healthcare professionals' perceived ability to resolve conflict. A multiple regression analysis demonstrated that two of the three central components: education and training, and communication competence were found to be strong predictors of a healthcare professionals' perceived ability to resolve conflict. These findings provide evidence about the significance of (a) educating and training healthcare professionals how to resolve conflicts that occur among interprofessional teams and (b) teaching communication skills specifically designed to improve healthcare professionals' ability to resolve conflicts. Implications include a call to action to clinicians and academicians to recognize the importance of conflict resolution education and training and to participate in evidenced-based research that will advance the knowledge and skills of healthcare students and healthcare professionals in this vital area of interprofessional education and collaborative practice.

"Conflict is inevitable in a dynamic organization". In the facility in which the project was implemented, there is currently no conflict resolution education provided to nurses. Overton & Lowry pointed out that "conflict is associated with significant cost to organizations." Conflict resolution and collaboration go hand-in-hand; "Although collaboration is a time-consuming process, it's an integrated approach and a long-term resolution of conflict". Therefore, the question arises: Does conflict resolution education increase nurses' knowledge level in resolving conflict and improve collaboration amongst nurses?
