Qualities of Nursing
The essay focuses on the exploration and demonstrates the understanding of variety of theories that relate to self and interpersonal communication. It has been supported by vignettes from the first practice experience as a student nurse and by using relevant literature to support my argument. The essay contains scenarios that are based on the personal experience that I encountered in the clinical placement. I did make sure that the maintenance of private and confidentiality was covered. It is done by using pseudonyms and by not using the exact place that it occurs.
A nurse is a person who inhibits a distinctive social world of lived experiences. A person is a conscious being and seen as a particular person. According to Stevens (1996), a person has five aspect of being a person. (1) Embodiment; it is how a person relates to his/her own body. (2)Subject experience; it is a person’s consciousness. (3)Social medium; it is the environments which determine a person. (4) Subconscious feeling; it is the hidden feeling or reaction, which is deep within a person’s consciousness. (5) Inter-relationship/ relationship with other people; it is how a person deals or interact with other human beings. All of these aspects are profoundly linked, because intrapersonal relates to a person’s inner world and interpersonal is the relationship between the other human being.
To be able to have effective interpersonal skills, it is important to have knowledge and a good practice of verbal and non-verbal communication methods. Both methods are very essential in nursing profession particularly in dealing with or interacting with patients and with their families. Verbal is about the paralinguistic; tone of voice, emphasis and manner. In my personal view, the kinds of verbal communication differentiate depending on a situation. On the other hand, non-verbal method performs in communication without the use of words or speech. It also relates to verbal, but in different ways. Non-verbal
