  • nurse Patient Communication interactions in the intensive care unit
    American Journal of Critical Care, 2011
    Co-Authors: Mary Beth Happ, Kathryn L Garrett, Dana Divirgilio Thomas, Judith A Tate, Elisabeth L George, Martin P Houze, Jill V Radtke, Susan M Sereika
    Abstract:

    More than 2.7 million Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States each year are unable to speak, in large part because of the presence of artificial airways and assisted ventilation (ie, mechanical ventilation).1,2 Communication ability may be further impaired during critical illness by sedation, fatigue, delirium, or neurological disease.3 Communication difficulty is the most commonly reported distressing symptom for ICU Patients receiving mechanical ventilation4–7 and is associated with anxiety, panic, anger, frustration, sleeplessness, and distress.4,5,8–11 Nurses also report frustration when Patients are unable to verbally report their symptoms, pain levels, and needs.12,13 Problems associated with the inability to speak during critical illness are well-known; however, the actual process of nurse-Patient Communication in the ICU has not been well studied or systematically measured. Without these data, it is difficult to construct appropriate and evidence-based standards for Communication with nonspeaking critically ill Patients.3 Efforts to improve Communication with ICU Patients should be built on a clear understanding of existing strengths and weaknesses in the Communication process. In this article, we report findings from the first (usual care) phase of a larger 3-phase clinical trial of nurse-Patient Communication in the ICU.14 The purpose of this prospective substudy is to describe (1) the frequency, success, quality, and ease of nurse-Patient Communication interactions and (2) the Communication methods and assistive strategies used between nurses and nonspeaking Patients in the ICU during usual care.

  • Doctor-Patient Communication: a review.
    The Ochsner Journal, 2010
    Co-Authors: Jennifer Fong Ha, Nancy Longnecker
    Abstract:

    Effective doctor-Patient Communication is a central clinical function in building a therapeutic doctor-Patient relationship, which is the heart and art of medicine. This is important in the delivery of high-quality health care. Much Patient dissatisfaction and many complaints are due to breakdown in the doctor-Patient relationship. However, many doctors tend to overestimate their ability in Communication. Over the years, much has been published in the literature on this important topic. We review the literature on doctor-Patient Communication.

  • a qualitative content analysis of nurse Patient Communication in iranian nursing
    International Nursing Review, 2011
    Co-Authors: A Fakhrmovahedi, Mahvash Salsali, R Negharandeh, Zahra Rahnavard
    Abstract:

    Fakhr-Movahedi A., Salsali M., Negharandeh R. & Rahnavard Z. (2011) A qualitative content analysis of nurse–Patient Communication in Iranian nursing. International Nursing Review58, 171–180 Background:  Communication is the source of Patients' health promotion, and nurses cannot do their duties without communicating with Patients. Nurses with good Communication skills have a great role in alleviating the stressful identity of hospitalization for both Patients and their families. Aim:  To explore cultural and contextual factors influencing nurse–Patient Communication according to lived experiences of Iranian nurses and Patients. Methods:  The participants in this qualitative study consisted of eight bachelor's degree nurses and nine Patients hospitalized in surgical and medical wards of a referral teaching hospital in Tehran, Iran. Data were gathered through unstructured and semi-structured interviews as well as observations. The data were analysed using a content analysis approach. Findings:  The data analysis revealed the following theme that encompassed nurse–Patient Communication in Iranian nursing: ‘a Patient-centred attitude in the shadow of mechanistic structure’. This theme consisted of three categories: (1) Communication as the essence of nursing care, (2) reactive Communication and (3) difficulties of nurse–Patient Communication. Conclusion:  In spite of the nurses' and Patients' belief in the importance of Communication, in practice each party's role in Communication leaves much to be desired. This is because of some structural and socio-cultural factors that hinder effective Communication. More attention should be paid by policy makers to remove factors that hinder the nurse–Patient Communication process.
