Participatory decision making: issues and guidelines.

The concept of shared responsibility in decision making through the use of participatory decision making has received considerable support in nursing education. There are important omissions in the discussions and applications of this concept. Problems in the use of participatory decision making as related to information transmission; conflict, consensus, and coalitions; and faculty/administrator role differences are analyzed. Criteria and guidelines for the appropriate use of participatory decision making are provided.

Conflict, Psychological

The case for interdisciplinary collaboration.

With the complexity of modern societal and health issues, and with the knowledge explosion and concomitant escalation of specialization and fragmentation, interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork will take on ever-increasing importance in the years ahead. For cooperation to become a generally accepted policy, there needs to be full understanding of interdisciplinarity and what promotes or hinders it. Resocialization, training, and new skills will be required of educators, practitioners, and administrators. Only then will faculty participate in and teach, practitioners practice, and institutions support interdisciplinary collaboration.
