Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Therapeutic Communication

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions.

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process.

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...

Area of Science:

Nursing
Healthcare Technology
Communication Studies

Background:

Mobile communication devices (MCDs) have transformed professional communication.
Their impact on nursing workflows and stress levels requires evaluation.
Assessing technology's role in patient care is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate nurses' perceptions of mobile communication devices (MCDs) post-implementation.
To determine if MCDs enhance or complicate nursing practice.
To understand the effect of MCDs on patient care quality.

Main Methods:

A study was conducted on a medical unit following MCD implementation.
Nurse perceptions regarding MCD use were systematically assessed.
Qualitative or quantitative methods were employed to gather data (details not specified in abstract).

Main Results:

Findings indicate how nurses perceive MCDs in their daily practice.
The study identifies whether MCDs are seen as beneficial or burdensome.
Results shed light on the technology's influence on efficiency and stress.

Conclusions:

Nurses' experiences with MCDs vary, influencing their integration into practice.
Understanding these perceptions is key to optimizing technology use in healthcare.
Effective implementation of MCDs can potentially improve patient care delivery.
