Nurse Patient Communication

According to the article, Nurse-Patient Communication Barriers in Iranian Nursing (Anoosheh et al, 2009) communicating is one of the basic social needs of human beings. This article is the exposition of a study done to better understand the barriers that inhibit nurse-patient communication. Communication is critical in the care for profession and tail end be considered a main aspect of nursing care.Patients and families count on nurses to cover them informed, help them feel connected to their physicians and other caregivers, to listen to them, to ease their anxiety, and to protect and watch over them during their health care experience. However, many studies (Anoosheh et al. 2009) have shown poor results in the quality of nurse patient communication. There is the risk that nurses digest become focused on tasks, physiological needs of the patient and time management at the set down of psychological needs.I am a firm believer that the psychological aspect of human beings bottom of the inning without delay influence our physical state. I agree with the statement in the article that communication can be, an intrinsic part of nursing care but also as a treatment by itself (Anoosheh et al. 2009). As I give care in my nursing practice I can improve communication by confirming patient feelings by asking questions such as, How are you feeling today? or How do you feel more or less your upcoming procedure? .To help patients know what to expect I can explain what care I will be performing, how long it will take and what their role may be. Another aspect that is necessary for quality patient care is collaborating with the patient by asking questions like, What can we do better? and, How is the treatment working? These patient centered questions can get patients talking about their thoughts and feelings. With a positive nurse patient relationship, there can be patient and family satisfaction and an surroundings that supports healing.
