Parents’ Reactions to Conflict With Health Care Providers

Jean Burley Moore

Asher E. Beckwitt

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine parents’ reactions to conflict with health care providers and the outcomes of the conflicts. This study builds on previous research that confirmed the occurrence and sources of conflict among these informants. Seventeen parents whose children had a diagnosis of cancer were interviewed in this study. A priori coding was used to identify the specific strategies for dealing with conflict proposed by Rubin and associates. Ginsburg’s approach to narrative analysis was used to examine parent’s stories. Findings were that parents used the strategies of problem solving, yielding, withdrawing, inaction, and contending identified by Rubin and associates in reaction to conflict with health care providers. Following episodes of contending, many parents in the study reframed the conflict and experienced transformations or turning points, resolving to become more effective advocates for their children. A few of these advocates proceeded to become community activists.
