Today, nurses rely on patient care technicians to assist in providing patients the best care possible. Ineffective communication between registered nurses and patient care technicians plays a critical role in having improved information flow, effective interventions, enhanced employee morale, improved patient safety and patient satisfaction (O’Daniel & Rosenstein, 2008).

Throughout this semester reading about different ways of interpersonal communication I came to the realization that there were many things I could work on to better myself as a person. Things I never thought about in depth until taking this class. Areas I have improved on throughout this semester are using I language more than the use of you language, what empathy was and how I choose to become better and lastly how I deal with conflict.

Since the start of this class, I have been reminded again and again that the concepts we are learning can be applied to everyday life. For instance, when we talked about non-verbal communication, I realized that it is impossible to not communicate. There are many activities, other than the use of language, that allow us to draw meaning from something we observe. When my mother widens her eyes at me without stating a word, I understand she is telling me to think twice about the action I’m about to take. It has been great to be able to assign concepts and vocabulary to interpersonal relationships and communication activity that I have been experiencing. Now let me introduce you to my friend Izzy and her boyfriend Ken as I analyze the

In the first unmet need, RP was having a bad day and has been stressed and wanted to talk to SELF about it. However, SELF was busy and with his own stresses and studying to give her the attention she wanted, and he felt that RP was not being considerate and selfish. This unmet need does not seem to elicit a strong emotional reaction because it seems more like a response to a momentary stressor, rather than an issue threatening the relationship (342, 371-2). Three sad word and two anger words are attributed to RP. One sad word was attributed to SELF. The higher use of sad words relate to RP’s inability to meet a goal, which was the source of her original frustration and anger about her stress, which then carried over into sadness and anger over not getting the attention she wanted from SELF. Since SELF has been able to reflect over the issue and come to an understanding of why RP was upset (337-43), all of his use of emotional words is focused on his partner’s emotions, rather than his own. The anger words used by RP relate to her negative communication behaviors. She got upset with SELF, and she would only give him succinct responses which can be a form of showing disinterest (294) and eventually shut down and refused to talk (312).

Authoritarian is when parents use shame, humiliation, anger, or physical discipline. Permissive parents impose few restrictions on the children. Authoritative parents do not employ shame, humiliation, or physical punishment but do maintain rules and limits.

For couples with children divorce can wreak havoc on family relations. The behavior of children can change rapidly, in Cherlin (1993) it has been stated that, “children whose parents separated or divorced displayed more behavior problems and performed more poorly in school than children whose parents remained married” (para. 3). It is important to note that each child is affected differently and relationships with parents will not always be bitter (Cherlin, 1993). The personal source is a friend of many years whose parents divorced when she was very young. Her brother was also very young at the time of the divorce; each of them as male and female reacted differently to the divorce, just as it has been seen in many studies (Alex Pringle, Personal Communication, May 10,

Irish Danner Professor Hupp Comm 225 2/26/17 Crash: Interpersonal Communication Crash (2005) is a film that portrays an in-depth reflection of interpersonal communication in modern society. The communication between two or more individuals can reveal various aspects of people from varying social socioeconomic backgrounds. The film takes place in Los Angeles where lives of several residents undergo life-changing experiences after encountering prejudices and stereotypes, and characters with different cultural perceptions engage in interpersonal conflicts. The director, Paul Haggis, shows some of these harsh realities that many other directors may have opted to avoid. By doing so, he promotes the crucial importance of conflict management in a

I enjoyed your post for this week. It is hard to believe this is the last week of class yet it is rewarding. I can agree with your take on schizophrenia being a difficult mental disorder. It would be very hard to live with because you don't know any different. The mind tells the person that what they see and hear are really there even though they really are not. Having people not believe you or not understand what is happening would be just as scary and frustrating. Most people who are diagnosed with this tend to become violent because they are fighting themselves and others out of frustration. I like you idea of the treatment/housing facility. I think that would be wonderful.

Communication is the process of passing information from the sender to the receiver, it involves the use of words in verbal and written forms as well as signs of body language such as facial expressions. It is vital in the healthcare sector as it aids in building intrapersonal, interpersonal and group relationships. It is very important that doctors and nurses have a clear understanding of how to communicate within the healthcare sector. Poor communication emerges when the information is relayed inappropriately, creating inconveniences of misunderstanding due to wrong interpretation of the intended meaning. The poor use of communication skills diminishes the effectiveness of health care services which is intended to meet the satisfactorily and the wellbeing of the patients. Moreover, the process of transferring that knowledge is important in achieving a high standard in healthcare with regards to the health professional. Therefore, it is important to look at the various aspects that contribute to the poor communication on the part of health professionals. The primary goal of this paper is to discuss the social, cultural and historical factors that contributes to poor communication among the healthcare workers.
