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.

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.
Barriers to Effective Communication I01:30

Barriers to Effective Communication I

A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this barrier...
Barriers to Effective Communication II01:21

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Knowledge Transfer and Dissemination
  • Health Sciences
  • Social Sciences
  • Rehabilitation Sciences

Background:

  • Effective knowledge transfer is crucial for end-user uptake.
  • Developing concise communication materials presents a challenge.
  • Existing strategies may not adequately engage end-users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present principles and strategies for developing short communiqués for end-users.
  • To support knowledge brokers in their dissemination efforts.
  • To promote end-user participation in knowledge transfer.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of research studies and conceptual work in knowledge transfer.
  • Development of brief-Knowledge Transfer (b-KT) principles.
  • Explanation of principles with a sample application (KIT-Tip Sheets).

Main Results:

  • b-KT principles offer a framework for creating short communiqués.
  • These principles are applicable in work practice, health, social, and rehabilitation domains.
  • The principles facilitate end-user involvement in knowledge transfer processes.

Conclusions:

  • b-KT principles can guide the development of effective knowledge transfer tools.
  • Further formal evaluation is required to assess the impact of these principles on knowledge uptake and use by end-users.
