Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nurses are being challenged to provide increasingly complex care with more inexperienced nurses due to higher rates of retirement and registered nurse (RN) turnover in general.

High-performing charge nurses with excellent interpersonal, conflict management, communication, and leadership competencies are vital to achieving optimal outcomes. Implementing a charge nurse leadership development program focused on improving communication competencies in conflict management situations can support a healthy work environment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Freedman (2019) asserts that "interpersonal conflict in nursing workplaces is a pervasive and complex phenomenon, with implications for patient safety and quality of care" (p.594). First-time leaders seldom receive adequate training for effective transition to leadership roles, with 60% reporting having no training (Gentry, Logan, \& Tonidandel, 2014). Furthermore, many novice leaders struggle with transitioning from peer to leader, specifically related to interpersonal and communication skills (Basogul, 2020; Radovich, et al., 2011).

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Orai: Master Public Speaking

Participants will access the Orai: Master Public Speaking (Sani, Dhamani, \& Gupta, 2020) platform with mobile and web-based applications. Communication skill-building moduleswill be assigned using exercises, case scenarios, and AI-assisted feedback debriefing through the Orai application.

Participants will also complete case scenarios created with specific nursing conflict issues a charge nurse may encounter in an acute care facility. Upon completion of the competency development program, participants will complete the CMCSS to determine the effect on confidence levels and a brief survey (Appendix C) to assess the amicability of the program.
