Description

Nonverbal Communication in nursing is no secret that being a nurse and working in such a field requires nurses to have a lot of, of “empathy, honesty, responsibility, patience, calmness” and so forth (Er, Sehiralti, Akpinar,2016). This, however, is only scratching the surface of what ideal attributes a nurse must have.In order to be a well-rounded nurse, there also needs to be a sense of understanding from patient to nurse and being able to build a healthy relationship with them. This can be fortified through communication, specifically nonverbal communication. The focus on understanding the correct practice of nonverbal communication is an essential form of communication to master. By nurses understanding just how important this is, there will be fewer conflicts occurring between patients and nurses. There will be an improvement in the overall patient and nurse relationship. On that note, with the supported investigation through three scientific peer-reviewed articles and one mathematically peer-reviewed article, it has been demonstrated that practicing the correct form of nonverbal communication leads to healthy patient-nurse relationships, better understanding, and overall quality care for the patient.

The topic of interest will rest on how nurses practicing correct nonverbal communication positively impacts a patient and how the practice of nonverbal communication can negatively impact patients. The purpose of demonstrating such support is to give nurses the needed knowledge to be able to incorporate correct cues of nonverbal communication in their patient care. Starting off, in the nursing profession, especially when it comes to taking care of patients, there is one thing to remember. Patients are coming in to get the desired care they deserve; however, patient care will vary per individual. Adding on to this, there will be many underlying factors being included in this, such as if a patient will need care for a long period of time, age, race, mental ability, and so forth. To further explain the first factor, some patients may only need care for a short period of time. Therefore they will not need medical assistance for that long.

On the other hand, there are patients who need long-term care, meaning they are dependent on being in a place where they will receive the indicated care they need for their condition. In long term, care patients are constantly being seen by several different nurses. This can be exhausting for a person and through it all, they may not want to talk to their care providers. This emphasizes that cue for performing and understanding the correct form of nonverbal communication. If a nurse sees their patient feeling a bit off, then this is a signal for them to modify their care plan and accommodate to their patient’s needs. Nurses who correctly use nonverbal communication are “establishingtrust, respect, and support of self, in addition to meeting the care needs” of their patients (Smallest al., 2015).
