The purpose of this discussion is to explore your interprofessional collaboration skills to sustain a practice change project, manage conflict, and apply a professional practice model effectively.
Instructions
DNP-prepared nurses typically lead and manage interprofessional teams, departments, divisions, and healthcare organizations. Refer to the interactive exercise from this week’s lesson and respond to ONLY ONE of the following:
- Determine what strategy you can envision using as a DNP-prepared nurse to sustain project improvements through intra- and interprofessional collaboration.
- Using the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode model, describe your typical reactionary style of conflict management and what you need to develop to deal with conflict in a collaborating mode, as guided by one of the interprofessional collaboration models.
- Propose how a professional practice model might overcome barriers to leading a practice change project in an interprofessional environment.
Construct your responses using the CARE Plan method.

eading Interprofessional Teams
Using the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode model, describe your typical reactionary style of conflict management and what you need to develop to deal with conflict in a collaborating mode, as guided by one of the interprofessional collaboration models.
The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Model is a useful tool for identifying and addressing conflict management skill development. The model identifies 5 approaches to conflict management and their relationship to the level of collaboration that results in the group (White et al, 2020). In other words, some styles such as accommodating and collaborating with all team members increase group yields when compared to strategies such as avoidance and competing which could potentially be damaging to group dynamics (White et al., 2020). Personally, avoidance has been my reactionary strategy. There is a certain strength behind my speech which is often misinterpreted as aggression. This has been the situation for me for as long as I can remember. As such, I default to not dealing with certain situations head-on as I do not want my words to be misconstrued when discussing the high points. I have mastered the art of verbiage in presentation to reduce conflict but still resort to avoidance and often in times when I need to speak up.
