EVIDENCE BASED NURSING RESEARCH1Communication is a process through which, meaningful conversations take place, usingwhich healthcare professionals are able to understand the patient concerns, Using an effectivecommunication, meaningful messages are generated by one person and received by anotherperson that creates a circle of conversation (O'Toole, 2016). This process is mainly utilized byhealthcare counsellors so that different stable and unstable mental conditions of the patients canbe easily accessed through effective communication technique. Patient counselling is a broaderaspect in which concepts like healthcare professionals care, knowledge of their concern and theirability to share these with unknown but relatable healthcare professionals included (Silverman,Kurtz & Draper, 2016). There are different models for effective communication whilecommunicating with a patient suffering from mental, physical or social trauma, such as theShannon and Weaver model, Schramm model, constructionist model, linear, interactive,transactional and communication cycle related models (Hargie, 2016). In this following essay, acase study of a 65 year old patient Nicos will be discussed who is unable to keep himself activeafter selling his farms. In the below sections a communication model will be chosen that can helpNicos to overcome his depression with a critical reflection on the way this communication wasconducted. Further, barriers and the methods used to overcome the barrier will be discussed.Finally a section will be included in which the other health professionals that will be included inthe care plan will be discussed with some ethical considerations of the communication process.

The primary thing which I noticed about Nicosthat he was not suffering from any social discrimination or family issues, but he felt isolatedbecause he was not being able to stay active and involved like he used to stay while working forhis farm (Olsson et al., 2012.

To build rapport with the client, on interactive communication modelwill help as it demands the counselors to stay calm and composed while carrying a conversationwith the client (Martin & Nakayama, 2013).

The effective communication strategy under interactive model that could be usedto communicate with Nicos is observing, listening and asking question (Arnold & Boggs,2015).
