“Extensive research has shown that no matter how knowledgeable a clinician might be if he or she is not able to open good communication with the patient, he or she may be of no help.” Patients’ perceptions of the quality of the healthcare they received are highly dependent on the quality of their interactions with their healthcare clinician and team. There is a wealth of research data that supports the benefits of effective communication and health outcomes for patients and healthcare teams. The connection that a patient feels with his or her clinician can ultimately improve their health mediated through participation in their care, adherence to treatment, and patient self-management. 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. The present study intended to understand the communication strategies followed in the health clinics which were selected randomly. We followed observation and interview methods to understand the effective communication methods and tried to understand the lacuna and strength in health communication. Present research paper tried to suggest few communication strategies which could be used in the medical camps and clinics for the better understanding of patient’s decease and to have knowledge of the medication. Two private and one government hospitals, two private clinics of Moodubidire have been taken for the present study. Keywords: health camp, clinics, communication, strategies, lacunae
Patient—Provider Communication
Health Education & Behavior, 2006
This article highlights results from the Right Question Project—Mental Health (RQP-MH), an intervention designed to teach skills in question formulation and to increase patients' participation in decisions about mental health treatment. Of participants in the RQP-MH intervention, 83% were from a Latino background, and 75% of the interviews were conducted in Spanish. The authors present the steps participants undertook in the process of becoming “activated” to formulate effective questions and develop decision-making skills in relation to their care. Findings suggest that patient activation and empowerment are interdependent because many of the skills (i.e., question formulation, direct patient—provider communication) required to become an “activated patient” are essential to achieve empowerment. Also, findings suggest that cultural and contextual factors can influence the experience of Latinos regarding participation in health care interactions. The authors provide recommendatio...

This article focuses on the concept of "Therapeutic communication". it also tries to highlight the importance of this concept, which through verbal or nonverbal communication makes the nurse consciously influence a client or help the client. it involves the use of specific strategies that encourage the patient to express feelings and ideas. There are different reactions to "therapeutic communication" as all patients differ in their characters, background, social status, culture, etc. This article will also compare the role of the nurse as compared to that of the doctor. They must both master efficient therapeutic techniques of communication in order to establish empathy towards the experience that the patient reveals. it is of great importance for them to have communicative therapeutic skills in order to successfully apply the communicative process as well as to fulfil the standards of healthcare for the patients. Through therapeutic communication they should est...

: Mental health research revolves around the presence of disorders, an advanced stage in mental health loss. Currently for the comprehensive approach to health, more active participation from primary care is required, not for its treatment; but if for early detection, referring patients to specialized care from the beginning of what may be psychological or psychiatric problems. This study is transverse of a qualitative type and was taken as a population shows 109 physicians from the District of Health III. The information was collected based on a previously developed tool, Likert-like scale, with the addition of open questions to gather the perceptions of doctors regarding the topic of interest, comprehensive health care. The increased demand for perceived consultation revolves around entities whose cause-effects predominate in the biological sphere. Regarding emotional conflicts, doctors said they were uncomfortable at the patient's expression of these. Social problems were found absent within medical management.

Understanding the patient's and companion's perception of the patient's illness can improve the patient's compliance and overall satisfaction. Patients' understanding of their illness is essential for recovery. Doctors should understand the perceptions and interpretations about the illness, experience, knowledge and culture of patients and their companions. The disease is what happens to the patient. Arthur Kleinman's Explanatory Model of Illness provides a guide for understanding the patient's point of view. The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of stroke experienced by patients, according to the point of view of the patient and his companion, and the treatment they had, second, to explore how the patient and the companion convey the condition to the doctor. The method uses a phenomenological approach through interviews, observations, and secondary patient data. There are two primary informants, namely two patients and two companions. This...
Mutual patient-psychiatrist communication and the therapeutic contract
Comprehensive Psychiatry, 1998
The increasing complexity and subspecialization of medicine make the patient feel lost in the anonymity and strange complexity of modern hospitals, lead to a misunderstanding of the increasing risks and impact of modern treatments, and restrict personal communication due to the prevalence of a knowledge-oriented approach, to a shortage of time, and to insufficient communication skills. All of this may cause increasing dissatisfaction and complaints of patients. Therefore, it is a future task (1) to develop a concept of medicine and psychiatry well-balanced for science-based knowledge and the value-based art of communication, (2) to change the framework of communication in medical and psychiatric practice, and (3) to improve the training of physicians in communication skills in order to fulfill the therapeutic contract successfully.
