Mediation offers several benefits in the nursing context:
1. Confidentiality: Mediation is a private process, ensuring that sensitive information is not disclosed. 2. Voluntary Participation: All parties participate willingly, which can lead to more genuine and lasting resolutions. 3. Cost-Effective: It is often less expensive than formal legal proceedings. 4. Timely Resolution: Mediation can be scheduled and completed more quickly than court cases or formal investigations. 5. Preservation of Relationships: By fostering mutual understanding, mediation helps maintain professional relationships and team cohesion.
