Summary
A new assistive technology was developed to improve nurse communication during care transitions between pre-hospital and emergency services. This validated tool enhances patient safety and care continuity through standardized interprofessional communication.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Health Communication Technology
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Effective communication during care transitions is critical for patient safety.
- Current communication methods between pre-hospital and emergency services can be fragmented.
- Standardized tools are needed to improve interprofessional collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate an assistive technology for nurse communication.
- To enhance communication during the pre-hospital to emergency care transition.
- To ensure safety and continuity of care.
Main Methods:
- Methodological study employing a quantitative approach.
- Delphi technique used for expert consensus building.
- International and snowball sampling with descriptive statistics and psychometric testing.
Main Results:
- 138 items were assessed by 15 experts in the first round.
- Second round achieved high consensus with a reliability index > 0.90.
- Cronbach's alpha of 0.93 confirmed the instrument's validity.
Conclusions:
- The developed assistive technology shows potential for improving nurse communication.
- The technology can enhance safety and continuity of care during transitions.
- It offers a standardized strategy for interprofessional communication in emergency settings.

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:

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...

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.

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.

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...

Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...
