Importance Of Communication In Nursing

The interview was conducted with a registered nurse with more than 10 years’ experience. Her current role is working in the Medical Assessment and Planning Unit, in particular, the palliative care area. On a regular basis, her role involves providing safe and quality care to her patients, and more specifically end of life care. In doing so, two predominant skills of communication

Moreover, a therapeutic nurse-client relationship is made regarding to the needs of a client. Therefore, both verbal and nonverbal communication express that “the nurse cares about the client”. According to McMahon (1991), therapeutic nursing is not merely supportive of the work of others but is potentially a major force in achieving health for the client. Thus, based on this literature which is common with my opinion, the nurse should be sure that all of the client’s needs including health needs and basic needs are met. In terms of holistic approach which is necessary to maintain the relationship between the nurse and client, the nurse needs to consider all mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of the client’s needs. Finally, I believe that nurses need to be aware of factors that can destroy the relationship between them and clients. Even if a relationship has been initiated correctly, lack of attention to some points may causes interruption

A nurse-patient relationship is the basic requirements in all practice settings. Its usage is to manage communication between an organization and a public while maintaining boundaries in the therapeutic relationship. Based on Peplau’s interpersonal theory, communication takes place in a nurse-client relationship where therapeutic process occurs involving complex factors such as environment, attitudes, practices, and beliefs in the dominant culture (seu.edu, 2015). The actions of each person in a nurse-patient relationship is measured on the collaboration of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Nurse’s work to attain, maintain, and restore the patient’s health until patient have fulfilled the health care needs. Patient must be guided and provided a well-respected environment until a better health and specific needs are fully considered in the relationship. In this kind of setting, nurse’s must create relationship with patients by communicating receptivity, assimilating the concepts of empathy, trust, genuineness, respect, and confidentiality into their interactions.

This assignment will explore a case study on an episode of care where a patient with chronic pain was hoisted. This will be written from the perspective of the author, a student nurse. The purpose of this assignment is to underline the ethical, legal and professional issues surrounding the episode of care during nursing practice and how these issues influence the role of the nurse and their professional judgement in delivering holistic, person-centred care for the patient. The author will cover the complications on delivering care when healthcare professionals should consider and respect the patient’s decisions and personal preferences whether it may benefit the patient or not. Therefore, the author will argue the principles of the

It can be hard for nursing students to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical setting without some proper guidance and support. This paper will discuss a critical incident which occurred in Week 3 of my N308 clinical course. The incident was related to skilled communication and organized prioritization, which are topics covered in N307 seminar. From a nursing perspective, this incident made me realize the importance of effective communication, prioritisation, and management skills because disorganized care would pose a threat to patient’s safety and compliance with the fundamental principles listed in the CNA code of ethics (Canadian Nurses Association, 2017).

Effective communication in the healthcare setting improves recovery rates and reduces pain and complication rates. (Wilkinson et al, 2003). Many complaints to the NHS are attributed to poor communication. Effective communication is reliant on the nurse working in partnership with the patient. It is essential that the nurse establishes a rapport and most of this will be achieved through the use of facial expressions. In my practice, it is important that develop a therapeutic relationship with the patients so that they can be able to put their trust in me. The therapeutic relationship is solely to meet the needs of the patient. In this relationship, there is a rapport established from a sense of mutual understanding and trust. To build a good nurse-patient relationship, I would have to show qualities of empathy, caring, sincerity and trustworthiness. During practice, if I am approaching a patient and the patient looks anxious, I should approach with empathy.

This report aims to discuss the communication observed between the Nurse and Patient portrayed in the video. There are two scenarios in which the Nurse addresses the patient’s concerns. The patient’s response is influenced by the Nurse’s approach. In a health care setting, a personal, empathic yet professional approach is most effective in communication from Nurse to Patient. Furthermore this report assesses the therapeutic techniques used by the Nurse to effectively interact with the patient.

Holistic healthcare demands interpersonal collaboration within the nurses and the community for the excellent care of the patient. For example, for a patient suffering from a mental disorder, it is necessary for the nurses to collaborate with each other as well as with the social workers assigned to the patient and his family, which is true if the patient is also a guardian. (Wagner, Liston, & Miller, 2011). The nurses will have to take medical care of the patient while the social worker tends to his social needs such as the welfare of his family. Therefore, it is imperative that the nursing and social work personnel have good communication skills. Communication enhances teamwork that will lead to the caregivers sharing insights and ideas with

Health Professionals (HP) rely on one another 's effective communication to provide quality and safe patient care. As an HP, effective communication is nevertheless carried to assist patients regarding their medical conditions – personal pain (and comfort). Therefore, it is the main goal to have the knowledge about professional communication and to gain a collective view of therapeutic and professional interpersonal communication. HP, inter-professionally, with their combined knowledge and skills can effectively develop nursing care plans for patients of any background – cultural, religious, etc. Also, effective communication requires a combination of good verbal and non-verbal skills. Increasing awareness in regards to non-verbal

The CAEN Decision Making Model for Nursing Practice Framework was chosen for this analysis due to its incorporation of foundational knowledge, thinking processes, context and decision-making processes. The model places major emphasis on the quality of relationships, salience and pattern recognition, healing initiatives, critical reflection to analyze a situation pre and post and to value different ways of knowing. The client along with the nurse is intertwined in the center of the framework highlighting the importance of their relationship. All critical decision making for nursing practice is the client’s lived experience of health and healing; which is essential to the inquiry process where a nurse will enter into and become engaged in the new relationship. In this situation, being directly involved with the patient provided an opportunity to create a relationship on the basis of providing health and healing measures (CAEN, 2008).

Many patients are reluctant to share their pain with the nurse, they don’t want to bother the staff, or

Ethics- According to Carper(1978), ethics is moral code of nursing and comes with obligation to serve and respect human life. As a nurse, we encounter so many ethical dilemmas in day to day practice but we have to know right from wrong and know our responsibility which will help in making right decision. Sometimes patient asks for pain medication reporting severe pain but he/she looks so lethargic, so a nurse will experience ethical dilemma at that time as patient is already lethargic, pain medcation will make him/her more lethargic. On the other hand patient is in severe

Throughout the paper I will be using Johns’ adapted model of structured reflection (15th edition) (2006), fours scholarly nursing articles and the CNO and RNAO guidelines to evaluate the nurse client relationship and to determine if the nurse acted in the appropriate manner. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate an understanding of intentional caring abilities that can be expressed within a nurse client relationship. A therapeutic relationship is based upon many aspect such as respect, empathy and power professionalism, that play an important role in a therapeutic relationship (CNO, 2006). As stated by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO, 2006), it is always the responsibility of the health care professional providing the care to form and uphold the nurse client relationship. Furthermore, the Registered Nurses of Ontario (RNAO, 2006) have further established Best Practice Guidelines to ensure that each health care professional understands how to build a nurse client relationship. Within the RNAO guidelines it helps all health care professionals understand the assets and tools that are needed in themselves to understand the nurse client relationship. In the professional lives the all health care providers it is the obligation of the health care professional to ensure that the nurse client relationship is maintained during the duration of the relationship and to care for each individual in the same manner as the client

Abstract:
This report explores communication techniques that is used between nurses and their patients. It highlights the significance of effective communication in nursing care. This report is based on a video showing two different scenarios of how a nurse and her patient are communicating amongst one another. It breaks down both scenarios and discusses how communication is essential to nursing. The report explores and concludes that showing compassion and empathy as a nurse really supports and reassures patients as appose to being unempathetic and not providing patients with support, can make situations difficult.

Therapeutic Communication has a huge impact on patients, whether, we, as nurses, see it or not. It is very important for a nurse to gain a patient’s trust. Many patients are already filled with sadness, nervousness and unsure thoughts of their current situation. Such thoughts may make a person scared to trust or open up to a nurse or doctor. Developing a close rapport with a patient can help to create a safe, warming environment, resulting in a positive experience throughout their time in the hospital or even nursing home. In “Therapeutic Communication”, Anna Lauria opens saying, “What we say or do not say can influence whether a client is able to quiet his mind, relax his body and initiate a healing response” (Lauria). Being a nurse, we automatically have the opportunity to create a strong influence on patients’ lives during, and even after, their hospital experience.
