While caring for the patient in the cardiac intensive care unit, I helped another nurse to help her 71-year-old patient promote blood circulation and walk to reduce the likelihood of pneumonia. After such a patient undergoes such major surgery it also helps patients build strength and confidence. This patient is nonischemic cardiomyopathy with a history of cocaine and alcohol abuse, atrial fibrillation, mitral valve regurgitation, and high blood pressure.
It begins with nonverbal communication between the patient and the nurse. In Japanese studies, it is found that the nurse's emotional expression (EE) may affect the patient's illness, positive expression can improve patient recovery rate. You may build a relationship of trust with each patient through empathic empathy and help your esteemed relationships produce similar results. Communicating with patients and their families for joint treatment and diagnosis can effectively manage their illness and provide necessary knowledge about the patient's condition to prevent it from recurring in the future . By emphasizing the patient's voice and emphasizing the health, the nurse can provide detailed guidance for self-management that is helpful to the patient's quality of life.
Nurses are the main role of patient communication. Clinical nurses always interact with patients at different levels. Communication between nurses and patients plays an important role in patient rehabilitation, including verbal and nonverbal communication, communication between nurses and patients, mutual penetration and integration (Clare, 2009). In clinical care, words can heal and cause disease; the nurse is the one who is in the most contact with the patient (Clare, 2009). It is very important to understand the communication between the nurse and the patient, to understand the physical and mental state of the patient, provide the patient with correct information, reduce the pain and suffering of the patient, and improve the effectiveness . This is an important improvement
It takes time to communicate with patients. Honesty and frankness are an important part of effective communication between nurses and patients. In order to achieve effective patient communication, the nurse must understand the patient's concern and sincerely intend to express their goodwill and courtesy to them. Recognize the patient's attitude and adjust your feelings. Always ask the patient, talk slowly, and use simpler non-medical languages. If it is difficult for the patient to understand the information, it is necessary to clarify or correct the information or instructions until the patient receives information or instructions. In order to demonstrate what you are saying, you can consider using materials (handouts, memos, photos, etc.).
