Appreciative Inquiry

Decent Essays
Hi, Joyce, I enjoyed reading you appreciative inquiry post and your two provocative propositions. The goal to educate the entire staff to include everyone, the receptionist, health coaches, nurses, and physicians, is a great one as it is a challenge to educate that many people effectively. Furthermore, I appreciate the provocative proposition to increase communication and understanding of the information. From my understanding, your statements interrupt the status quo but were welcomes as the appreciate inquiry looked at the positive side, building on strengths (MacCoy, 2014).

    Personal Intrinsic Motivators When intrinsic motivation is present, it can have a strong influence on an individual’s behaviour. In healthcare, this gives rise to individuals who are dedicated and passionate about their work. Manion (2011) identified five intrinsic motivators that influence professional behaviour: “healthy relationships, meaningful purpose, competence, choice and progress” (p. 297) and in this instance, all five were present.

Another colleague asked for my assistance in developing a tool to aid nurses in planning for staffing.

    Transplant administration is a very hard area to work as there is a great amount of critical thinking as well as coordinating efforts. When new employees come to work in our department, each person watches transplant rounds as well as transplant teaching.

    I Believe In Appreciation I believe in appreciation. When I was a child, my mother often told me to appreciate what I had in my life, as she consistently tells me now. Over the course of several years, I started to understand why she told me to so as a result of experiences and tragedies inhibiting the world around me. Those single moments, single experiences, have led me to realize how blessed I was to have what I had in life also taught me the preciousness of life.…

    Lifelong learning is extremely important, especially in the medical field. Lifelong learning is a process of seeking, retaining, and applying information learned, that will continue throughout our lives here on earth. As nurses, learning must continue so that we are able to maintain the knowledge we have but also be able to grow and learn new things because the environment that we work in, is forever changing and we must be able to change with it. We could only imagine how healthcare would be later on in the future if nurses and doctors only relied on the knowledge they obtained during nursing and medical school. Learning does not stop once school is over with, but it is continuous and required way beyond graduation.…
