Communication

Communication

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

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.

Protein Families

Protein Families

Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism. Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members. If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Gene Families

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Background:

Racial and language-based inequities in clinician communication are well-documented.
An intervention was developed to teach communication skills for family-centered rounds, targeting areas with racial inequities.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an equity-focused communication coaching intervention.
To improve communication skills in clinician educators and their learners.

Main Methods:

A 2-arm randomized waitlist-control trial was conducted.
Hospitalists received coaching and resources to teach skills in trauma-informed care, respect, affirmation, interpreter support, and caregiver engagement.
Communication was audio-recorded and coded, with caregiver surveys collected pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

The intervention demonstrated high clinician acceptability and feasibility.
Clinician teams showed increased praise and partnership-building statements, and less interruption post-intervention.
Caregivers reported increased trust, shared decision-making, and feeling heard.

Conclusions:

The equity and trauma-informed communication intervention was feasible and acceptable.
The intervention demonstrated preliminary efficacy in improving clinician behavior.
Caregiver-reported trust and communication quality also improved post-intervention.
