    Different cultures perceive different messages in many ways. What may be allowed by one culture may not be permitted in another. In any conversation there may be a level of uncertainty and anxiety, but learning cultural differences and what is allowed can make for comforting conversation. Maintaining eye contact, not using hand gestures, or touch can allow room for healthy communication and for the patient to build trust. Asking questions, listening attentively to what is said and using your assessment skills while communicating can also help to ease the patient anxiety and to open up to you as their provider. “Patients are active agents who can influence the way health communication is conducted.

    What I have learned about therapeutic communication is that if you listen and interact with the patient in a way that is not threatening to them, they are more likely going to share more information and be more open to answering your questions. What I have learned about non therapeutic communication is that your nonverbal behaviors play a big part in the patient and nurse relationship. What I mean by that is your nonverbal behaviors tell the patient something about you and how you’re feeling when in reality you may or may not feel that way. If the patient sees your nonverbal behaviors and interprets them in a wrong way you and the patient are going to have a hard time communicating with each other. Some ways I can improve upon my nurse- patient…

    From my past experiences, I believe that having professional conversations is necessary in the clinical setting. Though one may feel a certain type of way about a situation, clinical case or a patient, it is beneficial that individual does not get wrapped up in their personal feelings because it can change the direction or the outcome of the conversation. As healthcare providers, it is imperative that we must remember that effective communication has been proven to have a positive impact on patient care. Finally, as healthcare professionals it is our individual responsibility to make sure that we communicate effectively with one another in the workplace. The purpose of this assignment is to record and reflect a journal of my last 5 days in…
