In the current health care environment, consumers are demanding collaboration among clinicians even when traditional attitudes minimize nurses' input on the direction of clinical care. Compounding this problem is that nursing practices have not always been derived from randomized clinical trials, but instead from personal experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of nurses, physicians, and administrators on clinical protocols, including the use of nurse evidence-based practice (EBP) in practice settings. The study aimed at fostering clinical decisions anchored on shared knowledge, collegiate interactions, and emotions. A survey designed using nurse-physician communication tools was disseminated among a convenience sample of 50 nurses, 12 physicians, and 3 administrators. Content analysis was applied to survey responses. The findings revealed that effective communication between nurses, physicians, and administrators enhanced the use of nursing EBPs; these findings were used to generate the Nurse-Physician Communication Tools (NPCT) as a mechanism to enhance the translation of nursing EBP in clinical setting. The use of NPCT provided a mechanism for practice changes needed to improve clinical collaboration and enhance use of nursing EBPs in patient care.

Taiwan Power Company has been facing the crises of demonstration whenever they plan to build a new transformer station. The process of dealing with this problem is tough and usually takes a long while. This study is to discuss some cases and communicative strategies that Taiwan Power Company has used to deal with the demonstration which the public protest against transformer stations. Through the process of solving the problem, they have learned to use public relation to approach the public, solve crises, overcome the difficulties, and eventually build their transformer stations to keep providing the public quality electricity.
Based on the previous documentation and researches, this study covers the topics such as ¡§not in my back yard (NIMBY)¡¨ to ¡§yes in my back yard ¡§(YIMBY)¡¨, how to build public relations and business image, the communication tools of handling crisis, and a case in Japan detailed how the power company handled and communicated with the public when building a transformer station. We are hoping that we can set up an example of crisis handling for Taiwan Power Company in the future through above topics.
The study method and subjects are based on the management activity by phases and aimed at the communication method of public relation and business image. To make this study more detailed and thorough, the selected cases are from where the author works at which include the cases in Xiaying, Tainan, Jiaxian, Kaohsiung, Neiwei, Kaohsiung and Longzi Kaohsiung. In addition, we include some of the related issues from similar cases in Dafon, Taipei, Qielao Chunghua, Nongyi, Pingtung in this study. We studied the whole process starting from the public demonstration to how the Power Company handled the protest and made the public¡¦s worries go away, then made the public from ¡§NIMBY¡¨ to ¡§YIMBY¡¨ and eventually built the transformer stations without obstacles.
In the end of this study, we discuss about what Taiwan Power Company has learned from the successful cases through the process of handling crises from public¡¦s demonstration such as ¡§turning enemies into friends and creating win-win situation¡¨. It fits the key concepts of Taiwan Power Company which are ¡§sincerity, care, creativity, service¡¨, ¡§overcoming the difficulty, sincerely communicating, resolving crisis¡¨, and ¡§Taiwan Power Company team was able to bring their wisdoms and efforts into the matter¡¨. In the future, Taiwan Power Company should try to apply the idea of environment protection and energy saving into the community when they plan to build a transformer station so that they can gain people¡¦s approval without encountering protests. For example, the Power Company made a green space open to the community when they built Dafon Taipei transformer station; Chi-chuan Li built a gazebo with the indemnity from Power Company when they built the transformer station in Qie-Lao Chung-hua. Taiwan Power Company also built an energy saving transformer station in Nongyi. These are very successful cases that Taiwan Power Company made the crises of protests go away.

Konsten att lita på främlingar : En studie om projektledares arbete för att främja tillit i virtuella team / The Art of Trusting Strangers : A Study on the Project Managers Ways of Fostering TrustHettinger, Astrid, Backlund Lindgren, Thea January 2017 (has links)
Globalization is a phenomena that is, because of the advances in technology, becoming more and more common. New tools for communication enables project teams to collaborate across the globe. Hence, Virtual Teams are emerging to become the new routine way of working. However, even though virtual teams are a new way of working, many project managers are expected to lead in the same way as in traditional project teams. In this qualitative bachelor thesis in informatic we have studied how trust emerges in virtual teams, and what challenges this presents. Moreover, we used these results in order to investigate and present how project managers can foster trust in virtual teams. We conducted three interviews at one of Sweden’s largest organizations with project managers well experienced with working in virtual teams. The conclusion indicates that project managers through several activities indeed can foster trust in virtual teams. In virtual teams the project manager’s interaction with the other team members is limited by the technical tools used for communication. This results in a strong dependency between trust and virtual communication. The project manager can, by establishing a continuous communication within the team, reach a higher level of coordination. This enables every team member to move forward in the same direction, towards the same end result, despite the distance between them, fostering trust. / Globalisering är ett fenomen som tack vare teknikens framsteg, blir allt vanligare. Då tekniska kommunikationsverktyg gör det möjligt för individer att kommunicera med varandra oavsett plats, har virtuella team blivit en allt mer alldaglig arbetsform. Trots att detta är ett nytt sätt att arbeta på, förväntas dock projektledare att koordinera sitt virtuella team enligt samma projektledningsmetodik som för traditionella team. Vi har i denna kvalitativa uppsats utrett hur tillit uppkommer i virtuella team, och vilka utmaningar som kan finnas för att skapa tillit i virtuella team. Med utgångspunkt i detta drar vi slutsatser om hur projektledare kan arbeta för att främja tillit i virtuella team. För att svara på uppsatsens forskningsfrågor genomfördes tre intervjuer på en av Sveriges största organisationer. Respondenterna har en lång erfarenhet av projektledning och av att arbeta i virtuella team. Slutsatsen visar att projektledare kan främja tillit i virtuella team genom olika virtuella kommunikationsaktiviteter. I virtuella team har projektledaren en begränsad kommunikationskanal till övriga projektmedlemmar, en kanal som består av tekniska kommunikationsverktyg och som skapar förutsättningar för virtuell kommunikation. Detta skapar ett starkt beroende mellan kommunikation och tillit i virtuella team. Genom att etablera en kontinuerlig kommunikation kan projektledare bättre koordinera varje projektmedlem att röra sig i rätt riktning mot ett och samma mål, vilket främjar tillit.

Kommunikation i virtuella team : “Det är ingen här som är en Zlatan och kan göra allt själv, vi måste kommunicera” / Communication in virtual teams : “No one here is a Zlatan and can do everything by themselves, we have to communicate”Puke, Amanda, Jonasson, Fanny January 2020 (has links)
Till följd av globalisering, ökad konkurrens och utvecklingen av informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) har sättet på vilket medarbetare samarbetar med varandra inom organisationer förändrats. Idag är det därför vanligt att arbetet organiseras i så kallade virtuella team där teammedlemmarna kan kommunicera och samarbeta oberoende av tid och fysisk plats med hjälp av digitala kommunikationsverktyg. En avgörande aspekt för arbetet i virtuella team är kommunikation. Till följd av att en stor del av denna till stor del sker via digitala kommunikationsverktyg snarare än ansikte-mot-ansikte möter virtuella team utmaningar gällande kommunikation. Vår studie undersöker genom en kvalitativ fallstudie vilka aspekter av kommunikation som påverkas när denna till stor del sker via digitala kommunikationsverktyg snarare än ansikte-mot-ansikte i virtuella team. Detta utifrån vilket behov virtuella team har av kommunikation, hur de digitala kommunikationsverktygen stöttar kommunikation samt vilka sociala aspekter är centrala för kommunikationen. I studien genomfördes fyra intervjuer med olika personer i två olika team hos ett IT-företag som organiserar arbetet med projekt i virtuella team. Vi har kommit fram till slutsatsen att behovet av kommunikationen påverkas utifrån dess frekvens, kvalitet samt flexibilitet. De digitala kommunikationsverktygen stöttar kommunikationen utifrån hur deras egenskaper passar kommunikationen samt hur de faktiskt används. En kombination av verktyg förespråkas av tidigare forskning, men detta kan ifrågasättas kopplat till att tekniken utvecklas. Även mänskliga och sociala aspekter påverkar kommunikationen och de virtuella teamen måste hantera aspekter så som informell kommunikation och tillit. / Due to globalization, increased competition and the development of information and communication technology (ICT) the way in which people work together in organizations has changed. Today it is common to organize work in virtual teams where the team members can communicate and collaborate without regard to time and place using digital communication tools. A crucial aspect for virtual teams is communication. On account of the fact that a large part of communication takes place via digital communication tools rather than face-to-face, virtual teams face challenges regarding communication. This study examines, through a qualitative case study, what aspects of communication are affected when communication largely takes place via digital communication tools rather than face-to-face in virtual teams. This is examined in connection to the need of communication in virtual teams, in what way the digital communication tools support communication as well as what social aspects are central to the communication in virtual teams. Four interviews were conducted with four different people working in two different virtual teams within an IT-company. We have reached the conclusion that the need for communication in virtual teams is affected by the frequency, quality and flexibility of the communication. The properties of the digital communication tools support communication in different ways as well as the way in which they are used. Prior research advocates using a combination of tools, but this notion may be challenged due to the constant development of technology. Furthermore, human and social aspects also affect communication and virtual teams must therefore manage aspects such as informal communication and trust.
