• The stage of realizing the conflict: Here the conflict is realized without there being any previous situations, such as one party misunderstanding or misunderstanding the other party .
• The stage of feeling the conflict: Here there may be an awareness of the conflict, but without the manager feeling that there are situations of anxiety and tension  .
• The conflict manifestation stage: Here it can be noted that the behavior issued by each party indicates the emergence of a conflicting problem  .
• Post-conflict stage: If there are solutions that satisfy both parties, it is expected that there will be cooperation and affection between the parties, but if there are no solutions, feelings will remain dormant and increase and will explode at any moment.  .

Conflict management in work environments:

One of the reasons that called for organizations to manage conflict is the increasing interest in globalization and the decreased reliance on local authorities or governments to do some work. Harrigel presented a method for resolving and managing conflict that relies on two elements: :

1.     Distribution: That is, one of the parties to the conflict is aware that the amount of what one of them will gain will be at the expense of the other party’s loss  .

2.     Integration : The result of the parties’ calculation is that each will achieve a gain, and this element leads to greater satisfaction .

• In the event of a conflict, the administration resorts to using one of the following methods :

1.     WithdrawalIt  is the manager abandoning some work duties for a short period, such as postponing the answer to a memo or absenting himself from a meeting. It is used in the event that the problem is minor and does not require a lot of time, or the manager does not have a great personality or presence, or there is someone who can develop solutions. In the absence of the director  .

2.     Calm downIt  is the intervention of the administration, led by the director, by following a behavioral strategy, which is that the conflict will gradually disappear while calling for the necessity of cooperation between the parties. .

3.     Compromise solutions: that is, the manager's choice of an alternative that satisfies both parties and does not result in loss for either party  .

4.     Coercion: This is the administration's resort to using legal force to resolve the dispute, and it is preferable to use it in emergency situations  .

5.     Confrontation: Acknowledging the existence of a conflict, then the administration resorting to using the scientific method, evaluation, and studying alternatives to reach acceptable solutions .

The role of the head nurse in conflicts:

Disagreements often occur when people work in groups or work teams, and the supervisor must prevent this from happening or work to resolve them as head of the team. An efficient supervisor is one who listens to problems and tries as much as possible to help solve them. Therefore, the head nurse has an important and fundamental role in preventing conflicts and also in resolving them in a way that is acceptable to the parties to the conflict and in a way that benefits the workplace . 

Preventing conflicts:

          The most important causes of disagreements between team members are lack of clarity of vision and chaos in the work, that is, when opinions differ about what work should be performed and how team members should perform it. Conflicts can be prevented and their impact reduced by:

•         Regular meetings of team members
•         Giving people the freedom to express their ideas openly and then make a collective statement about them
•        Participation in achieving goals after agreeing on them
•        Develop a clear and detailed job description
•         Establish clear instructions and procedures for work
•         Justice in the distribution of tasks and duties
•        Preparing schedules according to which tasks and duties are distributed
