Area of Science:

  • Health Communication
  • Medical Education
  • Intercultural Communication

Background:

  • Operating rooms involve multidisciplinary teams requiring effective communication.
  • Existing communication frameworks may not fully address the complexities of surgical team dynamics.
  • Intercultural and rhetorical theories offer potential for improving team collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure latent cultural communication variables in surgical physicians.
  • To conduct communication training using intercultural and rhetorical frameworks.
  • To enhance collaborative communication and teamwork in operating rooms.

Main Methods:

  • A six-step protocol guided research with 85 physicians from various surgical specialties.
  • Surveys measured communication variables before and after a 2-hour instructional session.
  • The training focused on rhetorical choices promoting participatory communication.

Main Results:

  • Post-training surveys showed increased scores on communication variables.
  • Physicians demonstrated enhanced collaborative communication and teamwork.
  • The study successfully applied combined intercultural and rhetorical frameworks.

Conclusions:

  • Communication training based on intercultural and rhetorical theories improves surgical team collaboration.
  • This research expands health communication by integrating communication theory into medical education.
  • Findings offer new strategies for enhancing medical team performance and patient safety.
