1CHRONIC CARE ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
It is determined by researchers likeGhaferi&Dimick(2016) that intensive group activities are
important for professional as well as personal development of the student. Alone, they are unable to take
challenging tasks, however in a team they are able to perform such task as the pressure is divided among
the entire team. While providing care and managing nursing needs of a patient suffering from (add the
objective of your group assignment), I was assigned with a group task in which (add the number of your
team mebers)of my classmates accompanied me. As usual, primarily we were involved in conflicts related
to task allotment and sectioning. However, we later decided to use our personal strengths in each section
and divided the task as per our abilities. There was other issued as well such as timing, collaboration, and
availability of each member to successfully conduct the assignment, but we managed to converse directly
in the campus, or through messages on student portal. Hence, the task achievement plan was simple and
we only focused on group discussion, exchange of information and utilizing each other’s strength for
successful completion of the task (Brunetto et al., 2013). Further, there was things that did not worked in
our team collaboration such as division of the section, management and understanding task requirements
for which we took help from our tutor, hence, determining accuracy of the assignment.
While working in this team project, I became aware of one truth that feeling is different for
professional and personal life. For example, we are allowed to raise voice, argue or burst in tears, if
something does not occur as per our preference in our personal life. However, in professional life we have
to compromise our personal preferences and think about the greater good, therefore sacrifice becomes
important aspect of it. I felt the same way while we were indulged in conflict for task achievement, as I
decided to choose a part that I was not confident about. However, as the assignment reaches its finishing
point I felt that this collaborative assignment was helpful for me to learn and adjust with the situation. This is
because, I was working with several other personalities in the team having different behavioral and
understanding skills, and I was still able to deliver my points in such argumentative situation.
As I mentioned in the previous section, all those three members were having different attitude,
beliefs and values related to the task that collaborated in this assignment. These differences helps to create
a dynamic team having four different strengths and weaknesses. I was able to bring calmness, thinking
ability and courage to the team. I contributed by creating a communication link between these different
personalities, hence brought up stability and communication ease to the team. Hence, I feel that from my
perspective, team spirit and bonding can be attributed from our team collaboration. The dynamic nature of
the team will further help me to deal with similar situation in future.
