Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

172
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Communication01:03

Communication

8.7K
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.

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.

Therapeutic Communication01:30

Therapeutic Communication

7.7K
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...

Neuronal Communication01:28

Neuronal Communication

3.2K
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Barriers to Effective Communication I01:30

Barriers to Effective Communication I

11.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Disparities
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Effective doctor-patient communication is vital for quality healthcare.
  • Health disparities in Type II Diabetes may stem from communication barriers related to race, culture, and socioeconomic status.
  • Addressing these disparities requires improved clinical communication skills training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce REPEAT (Realizing Enhanced Patient Encounters through Aiding and Training), a digital tutor designed to improve physician-patient communication.
  • To enhance physicians' general and disparities-focused clinical communication skills.
  • To discuss human factors and design solutions within the REPEAT system.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes a digital tutor named REPEAT.
  • Employs simulated patient encounters with computer-generated Synthetic Standardized Patients (SSPs).
  • Integrates customized, context-sensitive, learner-focused scaffolding to augment virtual learning.

Main Results:

  • REPEAT provides a structured approach to improving clinical communication skills.
  • The system facilitates experiential learning through virtual patient interactions.
  • Authoring tools allow for efficient content creation and adaptability.

Conclusions:

  • Digital tutors like REPEAT can effectively train physicians in patient communication.
  • Addressing communication barriers can help mitigate health disparities.
  • The REPEAT system's design facilitates scalability and transferability to diverse learning contexts.
