Caring for the patients of clinics and hospitals is extremely difficult, but such a necessary thing. The demand for junior medical personnel is constantly growing, especially in Western Europe and the USA. But at the same time, the requirements for qualifications and personal qualities are also increasing. For example, knowledge of a foreign language and the successful completion of a characterological test are increasingly required. What role does communication play in nursing? Why is it so important that special training courses are being created that pay special attention to this aspect?
Contact with another person
The choice of appropriate therapy, the appointment of procedures, drugs depends on the doctor. But the junior medical staff follows his instructions. He is in constant contact with the patient. Therefore, we can safely say that communication in nursing is an integral part of the treatment process. What is its essence? This is the interaction of two people interested in a commongoal is the recovery of the patient. The main factor that helps to exchange information about the patient's he alth and perform actions (procedures - injections, droppers, physiotherapy, etc.) is communication.
Nursing is a profession based on help, on visual, tactile, verbal contact. A doctor can prescribe medications or procedures based only on test data and diagnostics. The sister must "implement them in life", that is, perform them by touching the patient, paying attention to his current state (temperature, appetite, swelling, etc.). Without "feedback", without contact with the patient who can report how he feels (so that the doctor can make adjustments), they may not bring the expected effect.
Steps of connection establishment
No matter how trite it may seem, communication in nursing is, above all, tactile and eye contact. A touch, a glance mean a lot. Often, only on the basis of these qualities, patients judge the professionalism and character of the nurse. One is said to be "she has a light hand and a kind heart", the other is feared and avoided. Even if formally - verbally - communication in nursing at the verbal level is polite and correct, patients always feel by touch whether this person feels sympathy and sympathy for them or only coldly performs his duties. After being installedgood eye contact (and for this it is necessary, while listening, to look the patient in the eyes, not to avoid looking), the following levels can be established. This is especially important for children. They must have full confidence in the treating staff, especially the younger ones. Otherwise, fear, hostility and stress will negatively affect the healing process. These issues are de alt with in such a field of philosophy as bioethics. She views communication in nursing in a broader context. It touches on topics such as altruism and personal distance, boundaries and mutual assistance.
Therapeutic value
It's no secret that a word and a touch mean - especially for an impressionable, sensitive person - a lot. They can stimulate and encourage, or they can oppress and frighten. Communication in nursing is a necessary discipline that should teach junior medical staff to use all the senses, all the patient's mechanisms aimed at improving he alth. After all, sometimes a friendly "good morning" is enough for a person to feel the desire to live, to cheer up and want to fight the disease.
