Therapeutic Communication

I. Introduction
Therapeutic communication is the establishment of connection between a patient and a health care provider. It is a key component of health care delivery, used to ensure that patients understand their conditions and recommended course of treatment. Patient also tend to be feel more comfortable when they feel more comfortable and supported and attended to by the people around them. This can create a trusting relationship, which may lead to more open discussion on their part of the patient, including disclosure of symptoms, that may be of concern for the medical team. Health care providers learn about the fundamentals of therapeutic communication in training and have an opportunity to practice in clinical skills labs. Sometimes referred to as bed side manner, communication involves consciously thinking about word choices, body language, tone, and other signals. Care providers who are brusque or appear judgemental are less likely to establish trust. Others may not feel supportive if they seem edgy, nervous, r worried. Someone who communicates calmly and effectively can make a patient feel comfortable and relaxed. This seminar will examine all aspects of therapeutic communication within the context of all nurse- patient relationship. Traditional therapeutic techniques will be discussed in details. Emphasis will be given to nurse behaviours that promote therapeutic communication, as well as potential barriers to effective communication. Many examples of therapeutic communication will be presented throughout. The main objectives upon completion of this seminar is that the students will be able to distinguish therapeutic communication from social interaction. Upon identifying situations when limit- setting, assertiveness, and conflict resolution, they would distinguish behaviours that promote therapeutic communication from those that hinder effective interaction. Also identifying the influence of culture, spirituality, and boundaries on therapeutic, they could select effective communication techniques for a variety of situations.
