Focus on the Issue - Module 4
“When conflict occurs, there is a tendency to lose sight of the issue that started the disagreement and it can quickly become a disagreement about the facility staff, the clinic operations, or the physician care.”
![Page 5: Decreasing Dialysis Patient-Provider Conflict (DPC) Session #3 Staff Training Modules 4-6 A Collaborative Presentation by Western Pacific Renal Network,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b757f8b9ab0599b6e4f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

During a conflict, it’s common for additional & unrelated concerns to be raised. Be prepared
Be willing to ask the patient to explain their concern if you don’t understand what they are saying
Do not assume that you already know what the patient is upset about

Look for Solutions - Module 5
Key Points cont.
Talk with a neutral third party
Brainstorming possible solutions to a conflict can lead to more effective policies
Use open-ended questions which can lead to a more thorough discussion of the conflict
![Page 15: Decreasing Dialysis Patient-Provider Conflict (DPC) Session #3 Staff Training Modules 4-6 A Collaborative Presentation by Western Pacific Renal Network,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b757f8b9ab0599b6e4f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Using Open-ended Questions
What is the patient’s perception of the conflict?
Usually begin with words such as what, will, or how
A question that starts with ‘Why’ could be considered open-ended
Don’t involve your opinion or impose your judgment on the patient.
![Page 16: Decreasing Dialysis Patient-Provider Conflict (DPC) Session #3 Staff Training Modules 4-6 A Collaborative Presentation by Western Pacific Renal Network,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b757f8b9ab0599b6e4f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Using Closed-ended Questions
Closed-ended questions generally get a “yes” or “no” response
Hand out “Closed-ended and Open-ended Questions”
Example:Closed-ended: “Are you mad at me?”Open-ended: “Would you tell me a little bit more about why you are angry?”
