- Abstract
Purpose/goals: Discuss communication breakdown between disciplines in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) that can lead to ethical distress. Encourage development of an extended perspective beyond the bedside by using available organizational resources and self-directed learning. Discuss how these components can improve nursing education and enhance professional relationships to improve the quality of patient care. Session description: Describe and discuss current trends and ethical issues in cardiac surgery that can lead to problematic interdisciplinary communication and distressing work environments. Provide insights into educational interventions that develop an extended perspective into the continuum of care using current evidence based suggestions for conflict resolution as well as personal insights gained through experiences in the OR, ICU and follow-up clinics. Present suggestions for using available organizational interdisciplinary resources for the development of a self-guided learning plan that will enhance professional relationships and personal professional development, ultimately resulting in greater career satisfaction, improved organizational knowledge and higher quality patient care. It's all about building the capacity to navigate interdisciplinary communication by learning to acknowledge and appreciate the differences between the mechanistic medical approach to patient care that is concerned with metrics and diagnosis and the holistic nursing philosophy, which views health and care as an embodied experience of emotional, as well as intellectual exchange. The goal is to create empathy for other care provider's experiences and improve communication and collaboration. Learning outcomes: 1. Discuss sources of interdisciplinary ethical conflict that impedes team communication. 2. Identify potential organizational resources and conceptualize a self-directed learning plan using the available resources to empower one’s self. 3. Identify appropriate approaches to communication and understand the importance of integrating interdisciplinary perspectives in the care of the critically ill patient.
