NURS 6053 Week 11 Discussion (Walden)
Conflict is a difficult situation no matter how it occurs or how much we do not want it to happen. Even with the best leaders, there will continue to be an evolving cycle of negotiations and diffuse stressful situations. As a manager of two surgical units, the day to day operations continues to be a constant battle of negotiations, but the crucial piece to this is to adequately understand how or why the conflict started or its origin (Marquis & Huston, 2015).
So what is the key to keeping the peace? Is there a simple solution to this ongoing issue that has been around for decades? The answer is no in plain language. Each situation or occurrence must be addressed in individualized cases but developing a framework of how to deal and will aid in reaching an optimal goal in resolving your conflict.
Andrew sees Anthony as a role model and is following in his footsteps. Anthony’s parents are also concerned about his well being. By helping Anthony’s person environment: it with consequently help the Cruize family environment. As a social worker I would use interventions that reduce stress for Anthony and promote positive growth and development, therefore increasing the level of his person:environment %t (Teater 2014).
In order to reduce stress the social worker must identify what Anthony’s life stressors are that may be leading him to feel distressed (Teater 2014). I would talk to Anthony about how he feels and what he is struggling to cope with, I would use tools such as a genogram and ecomap to help understand and discuss the environment around Anthony and how they affect him.
Once the stressors are identified the social worker can utilize the available and adequate resources to help Anthony to overcome them (Teater 2014). By looking at the eco map it can be seen that Anthony has a stressful relationship with his parents and a weak relationship with his sister. Resources such as family activities or counseling that could improve the communication between Anthony and his parents can be incorporated into the Cruize family’s weekly schedule.
This could teach the family different and more positive ways to talk and understand each other. Also ac?vi?es that involve strengthen the relationship between Lisa and Anthony could be incorporated and benefit both children. Throughout helping Anthony, the social worker should promote Anthony to take initiative and ac?on to change and actively participate in improving his level of person:environment %t (Teater 2014).
I would not determine the stressors in Anthony’s life, but instead work collaboratively with Anthony to help him identify them. By working together with Anthony I would help him prioritize his stressors and talk with him to create an intervention that we are both happy with. By collaboratively working with Anthony, the social worker can help increase Anthony’s attendance at school.
This can be done by positive reinforcement such as incentives. The reasons why Anthony does not a,end school should be discussed and an intervention should be put in place. For example, if the reason why Anthony does not go to school is to do with the classes he is enrolled in, then an agreement can happen between Anthony, the social worker and his school to get him put into classes he would prefer and would be more likely to attend. NURS 6053 Week 11 Discussion (Walden).
The school could also agree to shorten the school days for Anthony to get him back into the habit of a,ending school or place Anthony with a group of peers that could potential be his friends, if he is struggling to and friends. Anthony does not a,end his community service. The social worker should discuss this with Anthony and and out the reasons why.
If it is because he does not like the type of community service he is required to do the social worker could discuss options such as Anthony writing a letter to the community service officer to ask permission to do his community services in a different setting. He could also suggest that he will catch up on the hours he missed if he is moved to a more enjoyable seeing. Suggesting that Anthony writes the letter himself allows his to take responsibility for his actions and also promotes Anthony to actively participate.
