Behavior modification techniques were not useful for hospital personnel
Behavior modification techniques for controlling behavior was an interesting concept when applied to the management of hospital personnel.
The days spent in the long term care facility made me aware of the pros and cons of a very well run floor. I wanted the best run facility on the face of the planet for my son’s sake which coaxed me into studying behavior modification techniques and what really makes for a good hospital.
A recent publication which I forwarded to the director said that these techniques were very beneficial for hospital employees.
Many forms of these techniques are available but the most commonly used is positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement could be used to create a better job environment which would promote wellness for the patients and employees.
Now I would wait for him to put the guidelines into action.
As written by Saul Kent and William Faloon from the Life Extension Foundation hospital care remains abysmal. The rules in the hospital are fairly basic. The techniques certainly are in order for the staff in many cases. Just imagine:
The plan is implemented for a very short period of time along with Reiki and Japa .
The various staff members are praised for a “job well-done” when they extend more kindness to the patients, they wash their hands more often than required, they put their patients above themselves and when they extend common courtesy. The positive reinforcement is fun at first but soon other staff members would begin to sit back with envy. The behavior modification technique which was meant to create a more positive environment was creating just the opposite. The staff became sick with jealousy.
It was obvious that it was time for our son to check out of the hospital which had been his home for the last 3 plus years. Discharge papers were ordered and his belongings packed.
