Issue:OST and OpenSpaceOnline: The synchronicities and experience to date |
|
Michelle and Judith recently had an opportunity to use OpenSpace-Online with a provincial nurses' association. The power and possibilities of Open Space Online had been recognized for a long time, but we had not had an opportunity to engage a client in a large organization to have the experience. This opportunity presented itself as a result of the SARS crisis in Ontario. Many nurses are exhibiting signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. The professional organization, in its role to support nurses, had implemented a SARS bulletin board, but that did not permit nurses to have dialogue with each other. Michelle became aware of this and contacted the association to explore the opportunity to used OpenSpace-Online as an intervention and to conduct a needs assessment to identify what else the association could do to support nurses in the present and build capacity for coping with the new normal in the post-SARS environment. |

-the OpenSpace-Online environment provides real time dialogue- it became an intervention that enabled nurses who participated to support each other and learn from their mutual experiences as well as a tool for gathering data as a needs assessment |

-works for networking, bringing together work groups - OpenSpace-Online can be used before an event (OST or other) to help with planning or as a follow up to an event as well as THE event.- Work groups can learn about each other and to determine if they want to work together - are people open? - in some cases people are much more open in the online forum - can't be seen - on the other hand, comments are attached to names unlike OST event reports - works both ways. |
