  • 1.  Deviant behavior in health care

    Posted 07-08-2009 16:55
    Hi everyone.
     
    I have a student interested in doing a dissertation dealing with deviant physician behavior in hospitals. Has or is anyone doing such research in a health care setting? Any seminal articles you can direct me to?
     
    Thanks.

    I don't know of any articles that look directly at MD deviant
    behavior, but you may get some leads through the literatures of
    nurse-physician conflict/abuse, physician addiction/substance abuse or
    MD's mental health problems. Here are a few recent references:


    Impact of hospital consultants' poor mental health on patient care
    Taylor, Cath1; Graham, Jill1; Potts, Henry1; Candy, Jenny1; Richards,
    Michael2; Ramirez, Amanda1
    British journal of psychiatry (Print), vol. 190, no. MAR, pp. 268-269, 2007


    Zero tolerance some of the time? Doctors, discipline and sexual abuse
    in Ontario.Sanda Rodgers.
    Health Law Journal 15.(Annual 2007): p353(47).


    Disciplinary careers of drug-impaired physicians

    Hi Barbara,

     

    Very interesting topic!  Here are two papers your student may consider starting with that are relevant to both the general topic of workplace deviance and physician discretionary behavior:

     

    Hekman, D. R., Bigley, G. A., Steensma, H. K., & <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Hereford</st1:city></st1:place>, J. F. 2009. Combined effects of organizational and professional identification on the reciprocity dynamic for professional employees. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> Journal, 52: 506-526.

     

    Warren, D. E. 2003. Constructive and destructive deviance in organizations. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> Review, 28: 622-632.

     

    The professional employees in the Hekman et al. paper are physicians.

     

    I have thought about working as a volunteer in a local hospital just to get some ideas about similar topics.  Glad someone is addressing this very important area.

     

    Best,

    Jason

    I would suggest reviewing  Dr.  Milisa Manojlovich, PhD, RN, CCRN
    Assistant Professor, Division of Nursing Business & Health Systems,  work at the University of Michigan. Also take a look at the American Association of Critical Nurses work on Silence Kills.  

    These works examine MD/RN communication and effects of not identifying clinical problems in practice
