New nursing staff often respond in groups with polite phrases such as“everything is fine”or“it’s okay,”which limits the group’s potential for deeper exploration and may also reinforce defensive patterns of emotional distancing. This article aims to examine how group activity design—particularly the use of unstructured group—can facilitate a shift from polite responses to sincere expression among newly hired nurses, as well as the intervention techniques that group leaders can employ. This article is a reflection on practical experience, based on the author’s facilitation of a one-day workshop for new nursing staff. It explores how a progressive group design (from structured to non-structured) can be used throughout the process to promote authentic expression. The findings indicate that: (1) a progressive design effectively facilitates authentic expression; (2) the uncertainty inherent in non-structured groups encourages members to connect with their genuine needs; (3) key intervention techniques for leaders include observing and articulating group phenomena, using role-play to shift members out of a victim position, appropriate self-disclosure, and building bridges to foster universality; and (4) it is necessary to understand the influence of nursing culture and the Taiwanese cultural context. The transition from polite to sincere expression requires the creation of a group space in which“being imperfect”is acceptable. Group leaders need a high level of mentalization capacity and a strong tolerance for uncertainty. |
