Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings. On the other hand, nonverbal communication refers to various factors that can impact how we understand each other—for example, facial expressions.
We interact with others using mediated technologies like the...

Levels of Communication II: Organizational, Public, and Group Dynamics

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Communication
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Communication education is key in clinical training but lacks research on practitioner perspectives.
  • Current curricula are not informed by how clinicians perceive effective communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore surgeons' conceptualizations of communication with breast cancer patients.
  • To inform the design and delivery of more effective communication curricula.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of 19 interviews with 8 breast surgeons.
  • Interviews focused on specific patient consultations.
  • Constant comparative approach used for transcript analysis.

Main Results:

  • Surgeons view communication as central to their role.
  • Learning occurs through observation and mindful practice, not formal training.
  • Personal values and character significantly influence communication styles.

Conclusions:

  • Surgeons' views align with centering education on practitioner goals and mindful practice.
  • This contrasts with current 'communication skills' emphasis.
  • Research on practitioner perspectives can enhance communication curricula design.
