Servant-Leadership: A Forgiveness-Based Approach To Medical Errors, Complications, And Bad Outcomes, Wade C. Johnson

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

In the United States, medical errors, clinical complications and bad outcomes are often managed through a medical-legal system that seeks retributive justice, costing billions of dollars, and leaving patients and healthcare providers with deep emotional wounds and fractured relationships. In contrast, a forgiveness-based approach through Servant-leadership offers patients and medical providers a holistic and restorative justice that acknowledges shared suffering, addresses intrinsic needs, and rebuilds the sacred sense of community once shared between the two groups. This paper explores the benefits of a Servant-leadership forgiveness-based approach to medical errors, clinical complications, and bad outcomes, including its positive impact on patients, …

Beyond Average Effects In Education Research Syntheses: Explaining Heterogeneity Of Concept Mapping Research In Science Education Through Meta-Regression Modeling, Aaron Wenger

Dissertations

Contemporary education research seeks causal inferences in order to guide policy and practice. Often well-controlled quasi-experimental and experimental designs are used as they are very useful for supporting and contextualizing causal inferences. Nevertheless, individual studies, even high-quality, resource-intensive randomized controlled trials, are not able to establish generalized claims. Because primary studies vary over dozens of variables (e.g., grade, subject, duration) simply conducting additional primary studies cannot change this. Furthermore, the informal assessments of primary studies common in literature reviews are unable to resolve certain challenges (e.g., publication bias) that are described in the emerging field of meta-research. These challenges require …

Persuasion Vs. Coercion Or Persuasion And Coercion, Jiying Song

International Journal of Servant-Leadership
