The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic 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.

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...
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:

  • Healthcare communication
  • Medical education
  • Professional development

Background:

  • Intercollegial communication is crucial for healthcare professionals and patient outcomes but remains understudied.
  • Effective communication impacts professional well-being, self-awareness, and patient satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a communication skills training course on intercollegial communication within an orthopaedic department.
  • To assess improvements in both intraprofessional and interprofessional communication.

Main Methods:

  • An intervention study design was employed to assess the effectiveness of an in-house training program.
  • Questionnaires were utilized for data collection at baseline, immediately post-training, and six months after the course.

Main Results:

  • High participant response rates were achieved across all measurement points (T1, T2, T3).
  • Statistically significant improvements were noted in interprofessional communication, with gains observed in one to two questions for intraprofessional communication.
  • Improvements in interprofessional communication were significant for four questions immediately after training and five questions at six months post-training.

Conclusions:

  • Communication skills training enhances healthcare professionals' perception of intercollegial communication.
  • The positive effects were more pronounced for interprofessional communication compared to intraprofessional communication.
  • The benefits of the training were sustained and more evident six months after the course completion.
