Dedicated Workspace for Co-Located Healthcare Professionals
Although research has highlighted the connection between healthcare design and communication among nurses, it is essential to understand the experiences of additional healthcare professions due to increasing healthcare specialization. Employing multiple methods, this study explores interprofessional communication (IPC) and physical design in two different hospital cardiovascular units (CVUs). The first hospital incorporated a rectangular single-c…
Exploring Family Decisions to Refuse Organ Donation at Imminent Death
Communication about organ donation at the time of imminent death is a meaningful, yet less understood, area of health communication. We employed a multiple goals framework to explore family normative perceptions of organ donation and the conversational goal tensions experienced during a family member's imminent death. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 family members who refused to donate when approached by an organ procurement coo…

How Behaviors are Influenced by Perceived Norms
Normative restructuring strategies currently under way to combat alcohol-related problems among U.S. college students are based on the idea that students harbor inflated perceptions about the prevalence of drinking on campus and that if these misperceptions can be corrected, then alcohol consumption will decrease. Evidence for the effectiveness of these strategies is lacking, and there is little discussion in the literature about how or why peopl…

The theory of normative social behavior describes the moderators of the descriptive norm-behavior relationship. Through a 2 (de…

Understanding the Influence of Perceived Norms on Behaviors
Although a number of studies demonstrate the impact of perceived norms on human behavior, we know little about how this relation works. Extant norms-based campaigns to reduce alcohol consumption among U.S. college students fail to distinguish between descriptive and injunctive norms. In this article, we make this distinction, and we develop a model of normative influences that also includes the impact of group identity and communication patterns …
