Interpersonal Communication In Healthcare

Communication is all around us. It’s the way we interact with each other in everyday living. Our senses have a lot to do with the way we receive communication, and even if a sense is impaired there are still ways to get the idea across to people.

Professional communication as defined by Crisp, Taylor, Douglas & Rebeiro, 2013, p194 includes the spoken and non-verbal forms of communication. When a nurse doesn’t communicate professionally with the patients, patients family and healthcare workers this can have an impact on the patients’ care, the nurses and the health outcomes for the patient (Robinson, F.P, 2010, p206). Unprofessional communication comes in the form of an unfriendly tone of voice, interrupting the patient when they are speaking or asking questions (Kourkouta & Papathanasiou, 2014 p66).

To illustrate, I have demonstrated my commitment and dedication to helping others by becoming a back office assistant. I embodied compassion and exhibited linguistic and cultural competency by successfully assisting physicians with patient care and administrative duties. My close interaction with a diverse patient population and healthcare personnel has taught me to enhance coordination of care and to improve patient outcomes. As a result, my passion for serving others has been ignited and I am ever more determined to someday return to Vietnam – this time, not as a student volunteer, but as a physician assistant (PA).

Like some of peers, my stress or misunderstanding  has not come  from my peers.  It has come from my  misunderstanding of how to clearly respond to the discussion questions.  I have completed Clinical Pastoral Education (and it went very well) and the pre-requisites for this class.  Therefore I thought it would make my understanding how to respond to the discussion easier, but it has not in all cases.  So when I say I wanted to contribute something meaningful and felt I did not, I began to disengage some from the conversation and had to tell myself to get clarification, cope with my own negative head talk and try again.  Seeing my peers responses reduces some of my stress from the misunderstanding(s) it helps me better determine if my responses

This is where the staff in a nuclear medicine department must properly educate the patient on what is taking place during the procedure, as well as how the procedure works.
