What Are the Signs of Fear of Conflict in Nursing?
Recognizing the signs of fear of conflict is crucial for addressing it:
- Avoidance: Nurses consistently avoid difficult conversations or situations. - Compliance: Overly compliant behavior, even when it contradicts best practices. - Silence: Reluctance to voice opinions or concerns during team meetings or rounds. - Withdrawal: Emotional or physical withdrawal from colleagues or work situations that could lead to conflict.
