Assignment 8-Discussion Board #5a: Conflict Resolution

 

No unread replies.No replies.

Collaboration across disciplines allows professionals to bring their particular expertise and experiences to influence the nature of questions and proposed solutions to priority health care issues our country is confronting. These diverse perspectives provide a fuller and more complete picture and understanding of how and where we need to improve our systems to ensure better care for all Americans.

Effective teams often cite specific characteristics that allow them to work well together.

1. Discuss the challenges of working within an interdisciplinary team. (identify and discuss at least three challenges)

2. Discuss important characteristics of successful and effective interdisciplinary teams. (name and discuss at least three characteristics)

3. Student must  use at least 5  Peer-Reviewed references and an additional 6th Reference from a Professional Organization’s “White Paper” on the topic/problem.

4. Post a reply to another peer’s Discussion Board response.

5. Ensure to use evidence to support your Discussion. Follow the guidelines for the number of references/support/evidence/ citations and the type you need to use in your discussion. (See below definitions and explanations)

Remember to use the literature to support your responses- see guidelines for incorporating citations/support below.

What does this mean? (Peer-Reviewed)

Ensure to use evidence to support your Discussion. What does this mean?

Use at least five references (in total, not for each response to these individual questions above) from peer reviewed professional journals (see explanation below on this term) or sources to support your positions or themes in your Discussion posted response. Use an additional reference/citation (a 6th) reference/citation) from a Professional Organization like the American Nurses Association (ANA) or another Professional Organization. Professional Organizations often publish “white papers” on their websites that discuss the organization’s positions on certain topics. Look for a white paper, and utilize what it says in your discussion response.
 

 

Sometimes researchers will use the umbrella term “Cite the literature” to support your responses or statements- this is another way to say use “peer reviewed or peer refereed” articles/journals.

 

How to recognize peer-reviewed (refereed) journals

 

In many cases professors will require that students utilize articles from “peer-reviewed” journals. Sometimes the phrases “refereed journals” or “scholarly journals” are used to describe the same type of journals. But what are peer-reviewed (or refereed or scholarly) journal articles, and why do faculty require their use?

Three categories of information resources:

Newspapers and magazines containing news – Articles are written by reporters who may or may not be experts in the field of the article. Consequently, articles may contain incorrect information.
Journals containing articles written by academics and/or professionals — Although the articles are written by “experts,” any particular “expert” may have some ideas that are really “out there!”
Peer-reviewed (refereed or scholarly) journals – Articles are written by experts and are reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in the journal in order to ensure the article’s quality. (The article is more likely to be scientifically valid, reach reasonable conclusions, etc.) In most cases the reviewers do not know who the author of the article is, so that the article succeeds or fails on its own merit, not the reputation of the expert.
If you are uncertain what qualifies as a peer reviewed journal/article, contact the librarian for help at Halle library.

Include at least one additional reference from a professional group, such as the American Nurses Association (they frequently publish white papers on specific topics), or the American Medical Association.

DO NOT USE Wikipedia or your textbook as a reference to count towards your five-reference requirement. You may use your textbook additionally as a reference beyond the five required.
