  16. Communication • Words, sentences and the ability to think are crucial to your survival . • Your use of words also has a significant impact on the survival and quality of life of the patients to whom you give care. • Communication is the effective use of words to share ideas, meaning and emotion with others. • Ability to think critically and put together thoughts.

  17. Communication • Communication occurs when the sender and the receiver of the message have understood the meaning of the communication. • To be an effective nurse and give quality patient care you must learn how to communicate in the clinical setting. • This process continues as you mature as a nurse.

  18. Communication • Listening- Very important when caring for patients. It can help you to identify the emotions, troubles of another person so that you can respond to that person appropriately. • Listen visually as well- you are observing the behavior, appearance, and attitude of the person with whom you are speaking • The most honest communication is made through non-verbal channels.

  19. Communicaion • Nonverbal communication is nonspecific communication that transmits information. • Examples: • Movements of a person • Spatial relationships • Type of lanuage • Cultural attributes • Pay attention to nonverbal communication so you understand the entire message of the communication

  20. Communication • The secret to effective communication is to observe for nonverbal cues and to listen until the person has finished speaking. • This is called Active Listening. • Major responsibility of a LVN is to communicate effectively with all people necessary to provide patient care. • To communicate effectively in the clinical setting follow these communication principals:

  21. Communication Principals • 1. Think prior to speaking- Working in the clinical setting is not the same has having lunch with a friend. Saying whatever you want is not acceptable. • 2. Be quiet and gentle in your communication- Patients are sick, families are grieving and staff members generally are stressed. Be sensitive to the environment. Do not scream or run, it could cause a panic among patients and families. • 3. If you are not giving care to the person do not ask or make inquiry about them.

  22. Communication Principals • 4. Do not talk about patients or their families in inappropriate places. • 5. Treat all staff members with equal respect. • 6. Continue to be a lifelong learner- Find out what you don’t know or correct information about which you are unsure. • Successful communication is an art form that is based on the concept of caring for the other person and ensuring that the communication is successfully received and acknowledged.

  23. Culture in Nursing • Culture- Is a way of life that a particular group of people chooses to follow. • Unique characteristics of human beings who share similar symbols, lanuage, rituals, rules, and other learned behaviors. • Culture is not ethnicity. • Culture encompasses the interpretation of the behavior of others and goes beyond a person’s ethnicity. • Race is not the same as ethnicity. • Race is the biological and genetically transmitted set of distinguishable characteristics.

  24. Culture in Nursing • Culture includes the group values, customs, communication style, behavior and social practices. • Examples: • How the group dresses, food, art, buildings, initiation rites such as Bar Mitzvah. • Healthcare has its own culture and nursing is a subgroup of that culture. • Culture provides care and cure to others.

  25. Culture in Nursing • Trends of cultural diversity in the people you will be caring for. You need to be aware of these trends in order to give excellent patient care. • 1. Population is growing. Increase in census 1970 to 2000 of 22,167,670. Thus more people need healthcare. Busy units, clinics etc.. Heavy assignments. • 2. The population of the US is becoming more diverse. This adds to the richness of the mosaic of people you will encounter as a nurse. You need to have more awareness of the cultural habits of all people.

  26. Culture in Nursing • 3. The population is aging- 12% of Americans are 65 years or older. Living with chronic disease from advancements in medications, nutrition, immunizations. • 4. The culture of poverty has a direct impact on the health of people before they present to you for nursing care. Income is related directly to health. This is due to the fact that it increases access to health insurance, it allows people to live in safe neighborhoods, it makes better housing possible, people can live in places without industrial pollution, more people can engage in health promotion, work bases health insurance.

  27. Cultural competence • As a nurse you should have knowledge of cultural competence- awareness and acceptance of cultural differences. • You cannot understand and respect cultural differences of others until you have developed your own cultural awareness. Understand yourself first then you can understand others. • Culture is the accumulation of one’s life and makes people who they are. • Realize that one member of an ethnic group is not always the same as the next. Subjective.

  28. Culturally Competent Care • Care given that meets the cultural beliefs of an individual. • 1. Integrate your nursing care with cultural needs of the patient. • 2. Understand that meeting cultural needs assists in improving health. • 3. Appreciation of another person’s cultural needs fosters cooperation and respect. • 4. Communication based on cultural understanding provides a strong bridge to identifying the needs of a patient.

  29. Culture • Sensitivity to another’s cultural needs provides a mechanism for health related needs to be met more successfully. • Dignity is a crucial aspect of holistic care and does not exist without an understanding of culture. • Knowledge about culture comes only with effort. The benefits to having that knowledge are the opportunity to meet the overall needs of the patient. • Acceptance of the beliefs and characteristics of another person is essential for culturally competent care to be given.

  30. Barriers to Cultural Competency • As a professional person it is your responsibility to recognize any personal barriers you may have to cultural competency and address them. • The greatest barrier to cultural competency is ethnocentrism. Concept that indicates one person’s culture is the best and others need to adapt and accept it. Example: The Holocaust and Bosnia/Yugoslavia, large numbers of people killed because of their race. • Another barrier is cultural imposition- one person imposes the rules of their culture on another person.

  31. Barriers to cultural competency • Cultural blindness- refusal to recognize the cultural needs of another person. • Stereotyping- assuming that all people of one culture or race have the same personal characteristics. • Prejudice- strong negative feelings for persons of a specific culture. • Racism- racial prejudice.
