Communication01:03

Communication

Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.
Communication01:28

Communication

Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

Methods of Documentation III: PIE01:21

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...
Pie Chart01:04

Pie Chart

A pie chart (or a pie graph) is a circular graphical chart or a pictorial representation of categorical data. It is divided into slices of pie each indicating numerical proportions. It is also used to show the relative sizes of data in a single chart.
In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. Some real-world examples that can be depicted using pie charts include marks obtained by students...
Therapeutic Communication01:30

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. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Communication
  • Humanitarian Aid
  • International Health

Background:

  • Pacific Partnership deployments provide humanitarian and disaster relief training.
  • Effective communication is a challenge due to translator shortages and inadequate medical terminology training.
  • Disasters can further exacerbate translator unavailability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of pictograms as an alternative communication method in medical settings.
  • To determine if pictograms meet the American National Standards Institute's 85% congruence level for clear interpretation.

Main Methods:

  • 36 medical pictograms were assessed for interpretation by English-speaking physician assistants and nurse practitioners.
  • Three images were repeated to ensure the internal validity of the interpretation questionnaire.
  • Congruence levels were calculated to measure understanding of pictogram meaning.

Main Results:

  • 26 out of 33 distinct images (79%) achieved the 85% congruence benchmark.
  • The study assessed the validity of images for representing common medical maladies.
  • Internal validity was confirmed through repeated image presentation.

Conclusions:

  • Validated medical pictograms show potential as an effective communication tool.
  • Pictograms can bridge language barriers between medical providers and patients in discordant language situations.
  • This method offers a viable alternative when traditional translation services are insufficient.
