ABSTRACT

This research is of 3 objectives, i.e., (1) to analytically study the states of problems of the conflicts in the works of the nurses in the Inpatient Department (IPD) of Bangsai Hospital; (2) to study Sārānฺīyadhamma in creating reconciliation during working; and (3) to apply  Sārānฺīyadhamma to create reconciliation in the works of the Registered Nurses.

Research means are as following steps: 1) study and collect data in the issues of conflict among the nurses, inpatient work, and the concepts in Theravada Buddhism from Tipitaka Scripture, exegesis, books, texts, documents, and various researches; 2) analyze the information collected in step 1), separate the needed issues, and describe according to the concepts; and 3) make the final conclusion and present the research finding in descriptive form.

From the study, it is found that the causes of the problems in working together among medical personnel of the hospital are from the conflicts of the internal factors, such as the workers themselves lack love, loving-kindness, forgiveness to one another; they have Micchāditฺtฺhi or wrong views causing the lack of reconciliation in their working atmosphere.  These factors affect the work practitioners, the patients using the services, and the hospital in replacing the personnel.  In order to create reconciliation among the nurses, it is found that the Six Sārānฺīyadhamma is the Buddhist means that can be used for living together with love, unity, sympathy to one another, and readiness for forgiveness.

The application of Sārānฺīyadhamma does not only help create reconciliation in the works of the Registered Nurses, but it also can be used in the nurses’ daily lives, in the aspects of:- 1) family lives for the bases of love and warmth; 2) learning of self-development for their inner strength and calmness; and    3) practising in the organization with the creation of reconciliation while working, and the decrease of conflicts yielding calmness to the organization.
