Incorporating the affective domain into staff development programs.
This article describes several teaching methods that feature the affective domain. Exercises are used to help nurses explore their feelings and attitudes about sensitive issues. The teaching examples are from orientation, oncology, enterostomal therapy and psychosocial classes. Participant evaluations show that by incorporating the area of emotional function into staff development programs, nurses can learn that therapeutic relationships require care, self-awareness, and awareness of other's emotional needs.
