The communication process involves a sender transmitting a message through a channel to a receiver. It includes several key elements: 1. A sender encodes a message based on a thought or idea they want to convey. 2. The message is transmitted through a channel, such as verbal or written communication. 3. The receiver decodes the message to derive meaning from it. 4. Feedback from the receiver allows the sender to assess how well the message was understood and make adjustments if needed. The communication context and the relationship between the sender and receiver can impact how the message is interpreted at each stage of the process. Successful communication requires understanding these dynamics.

RUNNING HEAD THE ART OF LISTENING as a THERAPUTIC TECHNIQUE .docx

RUNNING HEAD: THE ART OF LISTENING as a THERAPUTIC TECHNIQUE 1 The Art of Listening as a Therapeutic Technique. 5 The Art of Listening as a Therapeutic Technique Cheri Cable HHS307: Comm Skills for Health & Human Service Personnel Instructor: Beth Delaney August 24, 2015 In the very beginning of everyone’s lives we are taught to speak but not necessarily to listen. Throughout history listening has been studied and a conclusion has been made that in fact being a good listener can allow one to challenge the information that is heard. Studies have shown that effective listening is a critical tool that is so often not used. “In the health care setting the communication technique such as the quality of listening provides both therapeutic value in the patient and the provider,” Banar, M. (2011). There are many different ways to be an active and effective listener, one of which is the therapeutic technique. “Therapeutic listening is an interpersonal confirmation process, involving all the senses, in which the therapist attends with empathy to the client's verbal and nonverbal messages to facilitate the understanding, synthesis, and interpretation of the client's situation,” according to the NCBI website. This paper will be taking an exploratory view of communication as a whole, effective health communication and focusing on the therapeutic technique of listening. Let’s begin by examining what interpersonal communication can bring to the health care setting. Interpersonal communication consists of four principles which describes that interpersonal communication is irreversible, contextual, inescapable and complicated, thus meaning that communication cannot be avoided nor taken back once begun. Interpersonal communication is up close and personal and consists of verbal and nonverbal communication as well as listening. In order to have effective interpersonal communication one needs to consider these key areas, emotions, habits, needs, personalities and values of others. “Effective interpersonal communication skills are said to be the gateway to the development of other important life skills,” (Servellen 1). Clear and effective communication is of great importance in order for patients to be enabled to properly and completely understand health information, without this ability adequate healthcare cannot be achieved. “Research evidence indicates that there are strong positive relationships between a healthcare team member’s communication skills and a patient’s capacity to follow through with medical recommendations, self-manage a chronic medical condition, and adopt preventive health behaviors” according to the Institute for Healthcare Communication web site. A client that feels as though the provider is truly interested in their total care and well-being is more likely to follow the treatment .

September/October 2020 | Volume 38 Number 5 267 Nursing Economic$ Patients spend more time with nurses than any other healthcare professional. The primary conduit of information between the patient and healthcare team are nurses; therefore, nurses need to be good communicators. Careful listening is at the core of good communication and is a key element of patient safety and experience (Balik & Dopkiss, 2010). A key component of nurse-patient communication is the patient’s perception of their experience with the nurse listening. Despite the known importance and impact on patient experience, quality outcomes, and reimbursement, there is a gap in research on effective nurse communication from the patient’s perspective. Healthcare’s shift from volume to value requires hospitals to focus on performance and quality outcomes, such as patient experience, as measured by the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. The nursing communication domain within the survey has the greatest impact on the patient’s overall experience score (Studer Group, 2012). The first series of HCAHPS survey questions focus on patient care received from nurses (Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], 2020). It asks about being treated with courtesy and respect, nurse listening, and the nurse’s ability to explain things in a way the patient can understand. Patient experience, a key hospital performance metric, is a component of value-based purchasing (VBP), which holds providers accountable by linking Medicare reimbursement to outcomes. For FY17, the VBP program affected 2% of the base operating payments to hospitals. This resulted in $1.7 billion in Medicare payments being withheld from hospitals because of poor performance on the HCAHPS survey measuring patient experience (Becker’s Hospital Review, 2017). Research by Press Ganey® revealed hospitals focusing on improving the nurse communication metric could potentially influence 15% of Nurses’ Active Empathetic Listening Behaviors from the Voice of the Patient Karen K. Myers Rebecca Krepper Ainslie Nibert Robin Toms Effective nurse communication, including listening skills, is essential to a positive nurse- patient relationship. This two- group comparative study identified how adult hospitalized patients perceived effective and ineffective nurse active empathetic listening (AEL) behaviors. Participants identified the AEL behavior most important to them, providing guidance to prioritize interventions to enhance the perception of being listened to. September/October 2020 | Volume 38 Number 5268 their VBP incentive payment (Rodak, 2013). The financial consequences of poor patient experience influenced by nurse communication further support the need to address the gap in nursing science. Press Ganey (2013) conducted a hierarchical variable clustering analysis on all eight HCAHPS .

The document advocates for healthcare providers to employ empathetic and motivational communication strategies, continue their education, and recognize how their own biases may impact care in order to overcome these barriers and better serve patients.

Effective Communication with Non-Native English Speakers in Medical Writing

ClinosolIndia

Effective communication with non-native English speakers in medical writing is essential to ensure clear and accurate understanding of medical information. Here are some tips to improve communication in medical writing for non-native English speakers: Use Plain Language: Simplify your language and avoid complex sentence structures and jargon. Use plain language that is clear, concise, and easy to understand. Define any technical terms or abbreviations that may be unfamiliar to non-native English speakers. Be Mindful of Vocabulary: Choose your vocabulary carefully, avoiding slang, idioms, and culturally-specific references that may not be familiar to non-native English speakers. Use common medical terminology and provide explanations or definitions when necessary. Structure Your Writing: Organize your writing into clear sections with headings and subheadings. Use bullet points or numbered lists to present information in a logical and structured manner. This helps non-native English speakers follow the flow of your content. Provide Context: When presenting complex information or concepts, provide sufficient background and context to help non-native English speakers understand the subject matter. Clearly explain the purpose, methodology, and implications of the information being discussed. Use Visual Aids: Incorporate visual aids such as diagrams, charts, and illustrations to supplement your written content. Visual aids can enhance understanding and provide additional context, especially for non-native English speakers who may find visual information easier to comprehend. Use Clear and Concise Sentences: Keep your sentences short and to the point. Non-native English speakers may find it challenging to follow lengthy or convoluted sentences. Break down complex ideas into simpler, more digestible sentences. Avoid Ambiguity and Assumptions: Be explicit and avoid ambiguous statements or assumptions. Clearly state your intentions, conclusions, and recommendations to minimize any potential misinterpretation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.

Editor's Notes

Quickly preview the session.
Note that ineffective communication can come in the form of written communication and documentation.
Stress the importance of objectivity rather than subjectivity. Also, stress that ALL written documentation is admissible in court; Therefore, statements must be factual and use legally approved abbreviations.
Important to note that even unofficial written notes placed on a chart, for example, for other providers to see can be misinterpreted as disrespectful or derogatory. Also, remember that notes and charts are admissible in court.
Being aware of specialized vocabulary or phrases is important for written discharge instructions or copies of patient care records sent home with families. People who are not familiar with medical lingo may see words that they are not familiar with, words that may have different meanings for lay people.
Luckily, one of the people who is orienting her explains to her that CABG is an acronym. But, how many times do people not get the meaning of what we say correct?
Look at how easy it is to look at the two pictures of the weasels and instantly like the one on the right better… it’s all about impression and interpretation. The weasel on the left is definitely misinterpreted!! (See detailed procedures on page 5 of the Trainer Manual.) Procedures for Weasel Words Activity: Goal: To demonstrate that words used in healthcare (both written and verbal) can often be misinterpreted by patients and their families. It is important to remember to use language that can be understood. Materials Needed: A copy of the “Discharge Instructions” for each group of two participants. Colored pen or pencil Blank paper to re-write instructions to be more easily understood. Procedures: 1. Hand out the “Discharge Instructions” (on page 6 of the Trainer Manual) to each group of two participants. 2. Each participant reads the discharge instructions to themselves. 3. Circle weasel words in the document with the colored pen/pencil. 4. Re-write the discharge instructions to make it more easily understood. 5. Discuss results as a group and any thoughts that this activity brought up.
Stress the importance of documenting actual care and not just “checking the boxes” When a problem is discovered, it is important to document what you did and then follow up on your interventions to see if you helped or resolved the problem.
Precise language – avoid vague words such “stuff” or “thing” or pronouns such as “it” or “they.” Seeking feedback is always helpful—have someone else read important documents.
(See detailed procedures on page 9 of the Trainer Manual). Goal: To examine communication styles using various types of media. Materials Needed: Each participant will need to access his/her text messages, email, and Facebook posts. Paper and pen/pencil for each participant. Procedures: Have participants look up their last posts on the following types of media: Personal e-mail Text message Facebook post, Tweet, Instagram etc. For each type of post answer the following questions: What are the conventions dictated by each type of media? Is there a particular “style” that develops from the media form? In what ways is content influenced by the type of media used? How are the posts different? Similar? In what ways do the styles “bleed” into each other? Divide participants in pairs or small groups to discuss observations. Pose questions such as: Audience—how does audience influence the choice of media? Have you ever, or can you imagine a situation where, a message was accidentally sent to the wrong person (for example, a personal message to a supervisor?). Next steps: have groups develop a set of recommended practices for health care professionals regarding the use of different types of media.
