PurposeTo apply a gender perspective to synthesis of research findings on conflict management.Organizing ConstructThe Thomas-Kilmann Mode Instrument (TKI), for measuring five conflict-handling strategies: avoiding, compromising, collaborating, accommodating, and competing.MethodNursing research studies with the TKI and other studies are synthesized from perspectives in three gender theories.ConclusionsFindings were that two conflict management strategies, avoiding and compromising, were used predominantly by all categories of nurses. Possible reasons for over- and underuse of the remaining three strategies (collaborating, accommodating, competing) are described. Implications of these findings for nurses and nursing organizations are discussed.
