Final Reflection Paper
As I look into my future career goals, I hope to extract the terms, theories, strategies, and tactics of PHTH2300 to be a successful healthcare provider. In order to strengthen my heath communicative abilities, implicating what I have learned throughout the semester would allow me to reinforce proper health communicative etiquette. My particular interest in the MD route will require patient to provider interaction in which many communicative practices are required to be enforced and achieved. This class has taught me how to connect communication in the healthcare field to a setting where I can implicate my future endeavors. At the start of the semester, my opinions

With these seven factors, communicating about health, whether to the larger general public, or in a smaller clinical setting, would enforce a strong linkage between the public and healthcare. The considerations of health communications would allow for a better bridge to health any miscommunication that could occur. With this, there would be a drastic improvement in the health of individuals, families and communities. This has allowed me to reconsider all the factors that are relevant in not only communicating between patient to patient, but also educating the public on health concerns. As an aspiring provider, I hope to find a balance between these considerations in order to secure honesty with patients and the public. With improvements in communication of individuals and families, patient-caregiver interactions would be approached in effective terms. Communities would be able to prevent public health concerns, allowing for population health to …show more content…
Motivational Interview involves “directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence”. The following communication would include addressing of elicit feelings, clarifying feelings and supporting decision making to resolve ambivalence. In Narrative medicine, patients’ experiences of illness are shared through stories, connecting their psychological and relational experiences to biological ones. These approaches would be effective in helping me understand a patient’s experience and build a patient-centered bond as a provider. In both cases, it is required for the caregiver to recognize the plights of patients and join patients in their illness experiences, while also demonstrating and responding with empathy, professionalism and trustworthiness. These are key learnings that I hope to address in my future
This paper will explain the seven principles of patient-clinician communication. It will then apply three of those principles to my interactions with my patients. Next, it will describe three methods being used in my area of practice to improved communication between the patients and clinicians. It will ultimately choose one of those principles that applies best to my practice and clearly describe how I use it. It will describe ethical principles that can be applied to issues with patient-clinician communication.
There is a great need to open communication and education among other health care professionals
This is extremely important as clearly this will lead to a better practitioner-patient rapport and supports the statement by the NMC code which says that using a range of verbal and non-verbal techniques is the best approach to meeting a patient’s personal and health
I can help close any communication gaps by converting difficult medical jargon into a language that patients can understand by drawing from my own experiences. By encouraging clear communication, I support a team-based healthcare setting where patients experience empowerment and
Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29). The technique of motivational interviewing was developed by two psychologists, Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick. Motivational interviewing is therapeutic to patients as it is based on a partnership, rather than a nurse-patient relationship (Heckman et al., 2010). There are four processes of motivational interviewing; engaging, focusing, evoking and planning.
According to Miller & Rollnick (2013), motivational interviewing incorporates a patient centred approach as a way of tackling patient’s ambivalence about change. Motivational interviewing includes four processes; engaging, focusing, evoking and planning. However, for this assignment the author of this text will address the key areas of engaging and focusing. These areas will be critically
I actively engage in open and respectful communication, ensuring that their voices are heard and their perspectives are valued. I take the time to understand their unique needs, preferences, and goals, and involve them in decision-making processes regarding their care. By working in partnership with patients and their families, I foster a sense of ownership and shared responsibility, ultimately leading to more patient-centered care. Furthermore, I collaborate closely
The technological advancements have not only helped nurses to be better informed, but have also helped the clients to be better informed. Informed patients and families can help the nurses and HCPs by speaking up about symptoms they have noticed that the health care team may have been unable to witness or may have look past. Technology being available to everyone is mostly a good luxury, at the same time, many people can be misinformed and cause more trouble demanding treatments or care that are unsuitable for them because they read about it online. 3.
Introduction Healthcare is a fundamental aspect of modern society. The provision of healthcare services is essential to ensure the well-being and quality of life of individuals. In the healthcare sector, personal, professional, and social interactions play an important role in ensuring the delivery of quality care. Personal interactions are those that occur between patients and healthcare providers, while professional interactions refer to the relationships between healthcare professionals. Social interactions, on the other hand, relate to the impact of social factors on healthcare.
According to Patterson & Krouse (2015), It is important to transfer the message in a good way, for that the communication skills is one of the most important basic skills of nursing leadership. More than that, communication in nursing can make their job efficiently and help them to communicate with a wide range of people, including the patient, patient 's family, and healthcare providers. However, unlike bad communication, which increases nursing staff problem and can lead to worsening the patient health condition, a good communication saves time and reduces the problem of nursing staff in resaving and deliver the right information. Furthermore, communication is not only talking with the patient it’s also listening to what the patient 's family and healthcare providers are saying to collect more information that helps the nurses to save lives. In this paper, I will reflect my communication that goes well with one patient.
PART A Introduction Effective interpersonal communication is prerequisite for the interchange of health allied information, the development of therapeutic relationships, accomplishing mutual understanding and applying knowledge to build trust, indeed it is useful in achieving person centred care for health professionals. First of all effective communication is a powerful therapeutic tool and an essential in open-ended and closed questions to make decisions about Mrs Bernardi’s health and achieving positive outcome for health professionals. In addition, therapeutic communication can impact by environmental barriers, also having mindful awareness of prospective barriers, it’s likely to accomplish and minimise the negative effect of these barriers
REFLECTION OF THE INTERVIEW 2.1 Description A component of the Effective Communication module, is an Inter-professional Education (IPE) enrichment activity and we were put into groups with the Pharmacy students. There were in total 2 Nursing students and 3 Pharmacy students. We were tasked to interview a healthcare professional. We interviewed Dr Edwin Lim from Tzu Chi Free Health Screening and Free Clinic (TCFC). He specialises in Family Medicine.
III Dialogue is better than monologue. A plurality of narratives When it comes to the physician-patient relation, the dialogue occurs among non-intimate interlocutors. An ad hoc narrative ensues then. Details are chosen on the ground of what is deemed relevant for the sake of the encounter. Sometimes, “a focus on the patient’s autobiography silences all other members in her family” and this can be as spontaneous as dangerous.
Introduction An interview can be seen as an exchange of verbal and non-verbal communication between two people interacting with each other (Northouse & Northouse, 1998: 164). Furthermore an interview aims to contribute to patients’ ability to identify personal issues and concerns and help them work through it. This goal is better achieved when a supportive and empathic patient-healthcare professional relationship is fostered in the interview.
It is clearly understood that at each level of empowerment there is information sharing. It can take place among patients, between the patients and health care providers or patients communicating with some external agency/ advocate (Carrin, 2009). However, traditionally information sharing was based on grassroots and community programs, but the national public health campaign has changed this through direct to consumer advertising, email and internet. Though this mass media approach is cost effective, it lacks intimacy, partnership and follow up support. This easy access to information has greatly played a role in improving the doctor-patient relationship (Anderson et al.,
