Conflict and interactions on interdisciplinary nursing student teams: The moderating effects of spontaneous communication

Moderating effects of task interdependence on interaction behaviours and creativity for nursing students on interdisciplinary teams

“…Helping behaviours may have promoted team creativity by allowing the students to turn cooperative challenges, such as idea diversity, into resources for innovation (Moser et al, 2019 ). Spontaneous communication may have created opportunities for the teams to generate ideas (McAlpine, 2018 ) and novel solutions, and resolve conflicts together to make room for creativity (Liu, Wang, et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In contrast, constructive controversy includes a measure of conflict, and spontaneous communication occurs outside of what is expected. Therefore, team members who depended on each other a great deal to finish tasks may have naturally dampened any behaviours rooted in conflict and spontaneity, thus reducing the strength of those behaviours’ impact on creativity (Liu, Wang, et al, 2020 ). Therefore, to help highly cooperative teams benefit from constructive controversy and spontaneous communication, nursing educators could try teaching them to value and incorporate those skills in a structured, collaborative way (Liu, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Each instrument was assessed for face validity and content validity, and has strong reliability, based on the Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.71 to 0.95 (Yang et al, 2010 ). The Taiwanese versions of each instrument have been validated in several recent studies of nursing students in Taiwan (Liu, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Liu, Wang, et al, 2020 ). In this study, the Cronbach's alphas for the subscales ranged from 0.78 to 0.94.…”

Comunicação no cuidado em saúde: Concepções e vivências de discentes e docentes de Enfermagem

“…Contudo, a comunicação interprofissional entre enfermeiros e demais profissionais continua sendo um desafio devido às diferenças curriculares de treinamento e as culturas distintas nos espaços de trabalho. Ademais, existe outro desafio inerente à realidade das equipes de saúde: o conflito (Liaw et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2020).…”

The Moderating Role of Team Conflict on Teams of Nursing Students

“…The capstone courses were created to teach nursing students to collaborate in interdisciplinary settings and invent healthcare products they could patent for clinical applications. The capstone course design has demonstrated that when students in healthcare education work with students outside their discipline, their creativity improves [ 26 , 27 ]. Both capstone courses included students from two universities of science and technology in the north part of Taiwan; the nursing students were enrolled in the nursing program at one of the universities, and non-nursing students who provided interdisciplinary were enrolled in the other university’s design program.…”
