Hospital doctor-nurse communication challenges were confirmed by a survey. Higher qualified nurses and certain male doctors reported fewer issues, highlighting education and experience as factors in effective interprofessional communication.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare communication
  • Interprofessional collaboration
  • Hospital management

Background:

  • Communication barriers between hospital doctors and nurses are a persistent issue.
  • Effective interprofessional communication is crucial for patient safety and quality of care.
  • Previous studies have documented these communication challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and verify perceived communication difficulties between doctors and nurses.
  • To identify factors influencing the frequency and nature of these communication problems.
  • To explore the perspectives of doctors, nurses, and ward clerks on doctor-nurse communication.

Main Methods:

  • A joint survey was conducted by medical and nursing administration at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

  • Questionnaires were distributed to doctors, nurses, and ward clerks to gather their perceptions.
  • Data analysis focused on identifying impediments in communication flow and factors associated with fewer difficulties.

    • Main Results:

    • Both doctors and nurses reported fewer communication difficulties with their own professional group compared to the other.
    • Nurses with higher education and clinical qualifications experienced significantly fewer communication problems with doctors.
    • Interns reported more communication difficulties with nurses than more qualified doctors; female non-intern doctors reported fewer issues than male counterparts. Highly qualified male doctors with prior occupations reported fewer problems.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms significant communication difficulties between doctors and nurses in a hospital setting.
    • Professional qualifications, education level, and experience appear to influence the perception of doctor-nurse communication effectiveness.
    • Addressing these disparities may improve interprofessional collaboration and patient care outcomes.
