Multi-faceted identities and interactions in mixed health teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
The literature in the area of the health workforce and societies in conflict encompasses a wide range of studies and potential directions. Lately, Keshet and Popper-Giveon reported on a study based on interviews with 13 Arab Israeli nurses who work in Israeli hospitals. This preliminary study describes how being an Arab nurse in Israel is experienced and perceived by those nurses. The results indicate the need for further studies on the complexity of health workers' experiences in their changing and multi-faceted professional, cultural, gender and national identities. In order to manage health systems, in particular in divided societies that are characterized by inter-group conflicts, special attention should be given to studying the everyday processes in mixed teams.

The study of identities is an enormous and complex undertaking (Peterson, 1989; Phinney, 1990). Studies on identity formation and development found that the shaping of identities begins in early childhood (Harris, Blue & Griffith, 1995; Peterson, 1989). Identities develop and change over time, are multi-faceted and shape one's perception and judgement of the self and others (Babad, Birnbaun & B...
