The human ear cannot distinguish between two sources of sound if they happen to reach within a specific time interval, typically 0.1 seconds apart. More than this, and they are perceived as separate sources.
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Communication Studies
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Ghosting, defined as abrupt communication cessation without explanation, is prevalent in professional and personal contexts.
  • Increased digital communication channels and speed contribute to a rise in ghosting incidents within academic institutions, particularly pharmacy schools.
  • Effective communication is vital for fostering positive institutional cultures and subcultures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the incidence, causes, and consequences of ghosting in pharmacy education.
  • To identify the impact of ghosting on psychological safety, well-being, and academic performance.
  • To propose strategies for minimizing ghosting within pharmacy institutions.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of communication patterns in pharmacy academic settings.
  • Review of existing literature on ghosting and its effects in professional environments.
  • Exploration of contributing factors such as workload and communication speed.

Main Results:

  • Increased communication speed and workload are identified as primary drivers of ghosting in pharmacy academia.
  • Ghosting negatively affects psychological safety, individual well-being, resilience, grit, and satisfaction.
  • Student academic performance and success are adversely impacted by ghosting behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Ghosting disrupts essential communication strategies, negatively impacting the pharmacy academic environment.
  • Addressing ghosting is crucial for enhancing psychological safety and supporting student success.
  • Institutions and individuals can implement practical measures to reduce ghosting and its detrimental effects.
