Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis01:25

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

5.2K
The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

2.5K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation

1.9K
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

7.2K
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Levels of Communication I: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Small Group

14.7K
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...

Barriers to Effective Communication II01:21

Barriers to Effective Communication II

4.5K
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:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Oncology
  • Digital Health Communication

Background:

  • Clinicians increasingly use general-purpose Instant Messaging Apps (IMAs) to address communication gaps in healthcare.
  • DonnaRosa, an Italian Community of Practice (CoP) founded in 2017, connects breast cancer specialists.
  • This CoP facilitates exchange of second opinions, guidelines, and research opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the origins, practices, and implications of the DonnaRosa CoP.
  • To understand how informal IMAs function as professional support networks in oncology.
  • To explore the role of such communities in the context of evolving AI in healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-methods approach including qualitative analysis of chat logs.
  • A 2024 online survey of 54 members (92.5% response rate) on usage and perceived value.
  • Semi-structured interviews with founders and participants to reconstruct history and impact.

Main Results:

  • DonnaRosa has grown organically through personal invitations, fostering a collegial network.
  • Communication is concise and colloquial, focusing on case discussions, guideline interpretation, and research opportunities.
  • Members report enhanced clinical judgment, professional support, reduced isolation, and informal research collaboration.

Conclusions:

  • Informal IMAs like DonnaRosa can form robust infrastructures for care and professional solidarity.
  • CoPs are crucial for providing experience-based interpretation of complex information, complementing AI tools.
  • Oncology societies need governance frameworks for safe and effective use of IMAs in professional practice.
