Abstract

This Best Practice Guideline (BPG) focuses on nurses, Health-care teams and processes that foster healthy work environments. The focus for the development of this guideline was managing and mitigating interpersonal conflict among healthcare teams with the view that while some conflict is preventable, healthy conflict can also be beneficial. For the purpose of this document, conflict is defined as a dynamic process occurring between interdependent individuals and/or groups as they experience negative emotional reactions to perceived disagreements and interference with the attainment of their goals (Barki & Hartwick, 2004)
