Abstract:
Effective communication skills for nurses are essential and serve as the interface between patients and health care providers. Yet, teaching communication skills is subject to only limited success. Results vary according to the mix of students, the talent and interest of the instructor, and the availability of teaching time for the topic. The nursing program at Indiana University Kokomo is addressing the needs of nursing students with a multimedia computer system. A videodisc on therapeutic communication was purchased to supply the desired video-based examples. The programming of the computer interface was done by a senior information systems department major. Student attitudes measured after using the system the first year were very good.
