Miami Dade College Nursing Communication Discussion
Description
Hello class,
The study found that most nursing communication occurs in the clinician as a person, the patient as a person, and the biopsychosocial information exchange. In the area of therapeutic alliance domain, nurses had few communication interactions. However, they endorsed the usefulness of responsibility and shared power. The nurses roles as translators of information among families, patients, and physicians strongly influenced their communication behaviors (Yoo et al., 2020). This involved what medical practitioners were willing to communicate to the families and patients and what they were unwilling to communicate (Slatore et al., 2012). It was also found that it requires collaborative effort to make communication a critical care success. Additionally, the study found that a guide to future interventions in improving patient-centered care can be obtained from understanding how nurses engage in patient-centered communication in the ICU. The indication of the study has it that critical care nurses should improve their communication skills continuously to aid patient care.
I will apply several communication skills discussed in the study, such as open-ended questions to elicit the patient’s agenda, especially early on admission. I have also learned to let the patient express themselves without interruption and have focused on active listening skills. From the study, I will make sure I understand the patient’s perspective towards the illness and show them empathy.
I got empowered to empower patients towards becoming active participants in their care. The use of quantitative analysis in this study created a wider understanding of behavior which was the core objective of the study. It helped in the provision of abundant data the need for effective communication. This method helped to analyze information conveyed by the participants through behavior and language in a natural setting (Ahmed et al. 2019).
