This paper will explain the seven principles of patient-clinician communication. It will then apply three of those principles to my interactions with my patients. Next, it will describe three methods being used in my area of practice to improved communication between the patients and clinicians. It will ultimately choose one of those principles that applies best to my practice and clearly describe how I use it. It will describe ethical principles that can be applied to issues with patient-clinician communication.

Further developments by the positive psychologists’ movements with the creation of a tangible international community whose culture is established on strong grounds imply that there would be a need for specialized medical services for the mentally ill. Such are the specialized

‘Discuss the communication methods that nurses use to understand and respond to people’s personal and health needs.’ “Use a range of verbal and non-verbal communication methods, and consider cultural sensitivities, to better understand and respond to people’s personal and health needs” The Nursing and Midwifery Council Code 2015 (NMC) aims to guide nurses on what is expected of them, to help them apply the best practice available when providing care for their patients. It is what every nurse should strive to achieve. An extract from the NMC code states “Use a range of verbal and non-verbal communication methods, and consider cultural sensitivities, to better understand and respond to people’s personal and health needs”. This essay will discuss factors that can impede effective communication, and in doing so, discuss some of the different methods of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques used by nurses

In the Mental Health treatment we can distinguish to different approaches to patient treatment/models of treatment , firstly we have a medical model secondary we using person recovery model. Medical model in the mental health, is mostly concentrate on the treatment of the physiological aspect of illness, this model is use at the inpatients admissions, by psychiatrist overall in the clinical /medical settings. There are many definitions of term “Medical Model” suggested that it is a ‘scientific process involving observation, description and differentiation, which moves from recognising and treating symptoms to identifying disease aetiologies and developing specific treatments, some professionals also describe medical model as ‘the predominant Western approach to illness, the medical model drives the

Benefits of Tele mental health program. Introduction. Mental Disorders is one of debilitation disorder of the brain that has multiple etiologies and that remains intractable even with the advancement of psychopharmacology and psychotherapies, because of not only the nature of the illness and the other factors but may be facing one of the biggest impact in care which is shortage of qualified clinicians to treat these patients. The share number of Americans that affected by mental disorders continues to rise with the most recent data from The National Association of the Mentally Ill (NAMI) as one in four adults−approximately 61.5 million Americans−experiences mental illness in a given year of which about 13.6 million−live with a serious mental

Doctor only needs to ask some basic questions about the sickness and give us some medicine and then finish the whole process. We can not even regard it as communications. Another limitation should be what if those patients who are not capable of communication, how they communicate with each other. Finally, it is about the external factors including environment, the patients’ living culture, which will also influence the patient’s physical situation. So if nurse want to apply interpersonal communication into curing process, patient’s characteristics and living environment should be

The primary duty as an ambassador at the hospital where I volunteer is visiting with every patient except those in isolation. I communicate with patients not only verbally but also nonverbally by interpreting patients’ eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures since some of patients are unable to speak freely. In the beginning, I was unable to fully comprehend their body languages; however, I am getting better gradually. Staying in their room alone for a long time, patients appreciate my presence most of the time. They take pleasure from talking about their family, job, weather, and local news.

(Gleeson and Higgins, 2009). In mental health nursing touch is either helpful or technical in addition it can be compulsory or deliberate which has to dealt with care and respect as with all other communication skills. In the contemporary before attempting this skill a mental nurse has to take into consideration that offering touch has to be related to client’s needs. A nurse has to respect client’s culture their age, ethnicity and the gender as it is not acceptable in some cultures to touch someone who is not closer to them.

Shawn is greatly influenced by her actions and instantly lit up his mood. As Arnold and Boggs states that body language tells the patient a lot about the Nurse, “An erect posture and decisive movements suggest confidence and self-control” (Arnold and Boggs, 2007, p….). This allows for the patient to feel safe around the Nurse and it is salient to demonstrate they know what they are doing. Having good posture and adventitious nonverbal skills can greatly influence the patients behavior, as they feel assured they will be taken care of, feel more comfortable and can be important in a healing process, as you want your patient to feel confident overall as well.

Communication is described as the interchange of information, thoughts, and feelings between individuals using dialog or other methods (Kourkouta, & Papathanasiou, 2014). Communication between patients, nurses, and other healthcare professionals can influence the patient outcome subsequently, understanding what establishes an effective communication will be beneficial for nurses and other healthcare professionals. Having the skills to articulate efficiently exists beyond having verbal skills. According to Wright (2012), to establish effective communication, a nurse should develop the use of nonverbal cues such as body language, demonstrating active listening skills to facilitate assurance that the interaction remains successful, and having

According to Patterson & Krouse (2015), It is important to transfer the message in a good way, for that the communication skills is one of the most important basic skills of nursing leadership. More than that, communication in nursing can make their job efficiently and help them to communicate with a wide range of people, including the patient, patient 's family, and healthcare providers. However, unlike bad communication, which increases nursing staff problem and can lead to worsening the patient health condition, a good communication saves time and reduces the problem of nursing staff in resaving and deliver the right information. Furthermore, communication is not only talking with the patient it’s also listening to what the patient 's family and healthcare providers are saying to collect more information that helps the nurses to save lives. In this paper, I will reflect my communication that goes well with one patient.

According to Julia Wood (2004), “communication is a systemic process in which individuals interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meanings. However, Sheppard (1993) suggests that, in the nurse–patient relationship, communication involves more than the transmission of information; it also involves transmitting feelings, recognizing these feelings and letting the patient know that their feelings have been recognized (M, 1993)”. It is a two way process. The patient conveys their fears and concerns to their nurse and helps them make a correct nursing diagnosis.

Eye contact also plays a vital role in effective communication. There are times when we experience words that come out of our mouth and the ways we communicate through our body language are totally different. In this kind of situation, the receiver has to determine whether to believe verbal or nonverbal message. Regularly the receiver would select the nonverbal as it is more natural and it truly displays the speaker’s true feeling and intention. The gestures such as the way we sit, how fast and how loud we talk and how much eye contact we make send strong messages to the receiver.

, this showcases the great importance of understanding this topic in order to have a clear communication process, since these can distort the meaning of the message. Although non-verbal expressions are present in every culture, their individual meanings and relevance are going to change from one to another, this is why it is important to not only recognize the overall value of this topic, but to study the different patterns of nonverbal communication from different cultures as well. Since we are studying to become international negotiators we have to be prepared to work in a multicultural environment, since it is very likely we will be working with people from other parts of the world. Understanding how others communicate and how we do it too and not to take everything at face value is primordial for us, since this will help us to minimize

Nonverbal communication in some cases can be more effective at relaying your thoughts than the actual words being said. Therefore, having an understanding of the aspects of non verbal communication and how they may be perceived is the
