Knowledge of conflict management is necessary to avoid the negative impact conflicts can have on patients, relatives, students, healthcare staff, and healthcare organisations. This report examines the use of drama pedagogy to support student learning about conflict management in the specialist nursing programme with specialisation on health and medical care for children and adolescents. It integrates drama pedagogy, nursing, healthcare education, and healthcare sciences into the teaching to support student learning about conflict management. The report illustrates a teaching module on conflict management with drama pedagogy in the course Advanced assessment and nursing interventions in relation to illness in children and adolescents, (OM5510), 15 credits. This module is based on policy documents, research results involving drama exercises, Forum Play, and theories of conflict management from the international DRACON project (DRAma and CONflict resolution). The DRACON project has been developed and implemented in Australia, Malaysia, and Sweden. The course is offered in the specialist nursing programme once a year at the Institute of Health and Care Sciences at Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden. The report has been prepared for drama teachers and other teachers looking for knowledge about how drama pedagogy can be used at the master’s level, such as in specialist nursing education.

(Centrum för kultur och hälsa, Göteborgs universitet, 2020) Lepp, Margret; Wigert, Helena; Höglund Arveklev, Susanna; Larsson, Stina; Berg, Linda
Kunskap om konflikthantering är nödvändig då konflikter kan ha en negativ påverkan på såväl patienter, närstående, studenter och vårdpersonal som hälso- och sjukvårdsorganisation. Föreliggande rapport handlar om att med dramapedagogik stödja studenters lärande om konflikthantering i specialistsjuksköterskeprogrammet med inriktning mot hälso- och sjukvård för barn och ungdomar. Ämnena dramapedagogik, omvårdnad, vårdpedagogik och vårdvetenskap integreras i undervisningen för att stödja studenters lärande om konflikthantering. Rapporten belyser ett undervisningsmoment om konflikthantering med dramapedagogik i kursen Avancerad bedömning och vårdhandlingar vid ohälsa hos barn och ungdomar, (OM5510), 15 hp. Undervisningsmomentet bygger på styrdokument, forskningsresultat som berör dramaövningar, Forumspel och teorier om konflikthantering, från det internationella DRACON projekt (DRAma and CONflict handling). DRACON har utvecklats och genomförts i Australien, Malaysia och Sverige. Kursen ges i specialistsjuksköterskeprogrammet, en gång per år, vid Göteborgs universitet, Sahlgrenska Akademin, Institutionen för vårdvetenskap och hälsa. Rapporten riktar sig till dramapedagoger och lärare som söker kunskap om hur dramapedagogik kan användas på avancerad utbildningsnivå, som exempelvis i specialistsjuksköterskeutbildning.
Föräldrars delaktighet i sitt barns vård vid neonatal intensivvård
(2008-05-15T09:33:57Z) Wigert, Helena
When a newborn baby is in need of care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the care is assumed to be carried out not only by personnel but also by parents. To promote parental participation in this care, the parents are welcome to stay with their child whenever they wish. This thesis includes four papers and has the overall aim of contributing to the understanding of the significance of parental participation in the care of their child on the NICU, as well as the factors that influence, facilitate or obstruct that participation. The thesis is based on participative observations and interviews with parents and personnel at two NICUs. Paper I used a phenomenological hermeneutic lifeworld approach, while Papers II and III used a hermeneutic lifeworld approach, and Paper IV had a descriptive quantitative design. The results of this thesis show a general feeling of exclusion, with the mother experiencing a lack of interaction with the personnel and a sense of not belonging on the NICU. This has a negative impact on her maternal identity. However, when a continuous dialogue existed, and the mother was cared for as a unique person with unique needs, she experienced that she was participating, and this strengthened her maternal identity (I). The personnel on the NICU were ambivalent regarding the presence of parents, and set limits that included dictating conditions for parental participation. In the encounter with the parents they had difficulties in meeting worried parents and sometimes manifested an evasive attitude (II). Although the personnel had good ideals and intended to encourage parental participation, the care, including the terms of parental participation, was determined by the conditions set by the personnel, routines focusing on the care environment and medical technology, and budgetary constraints (III). The nature and extent of parental presence on the NICUs varied depending on the types of accommodations parents were offered. Those who stayed in parent rooms on the units showed more of presence with their children than did parents who stayed at a family hotel, at home or on the maternity ward. The main reason parents had for being with their child was a wish to take parental responsibility. Good treatment by the personnel was the primary factor facilitating parental presence, while parental ill health was the primary obstructing factor (IV). The results show a need to develop a family-friendly environment and tangible strategies to provide optimal conditions for enabling parents to be present and involved in the care of their child on a NICU. In addition, the personnel must be given the resources needed to make this possible.
