Introduction:
The contact between doctor and patient is a chance to build a strong
interpersonal communication and to share knowledge. This also allows making
choices in treatment, which are key to optimal patient attention.
In a doctor-patient communication, good contact is an integral aspect. Contact
between physicians and patients plays a significant role in cancer diagnosis. This
correspondence has a clear link to the quality and perception of therapy and the
danger associated in a good beneficial interaction between them. Effective
communication can contribute to some positive outcomes, e.g. reducing patient
distress, increasing patient satisfaction, decreasing the risk of medical accidents
and malpractices. In the other side, miscommunication contributes to negative
effects, among many cases, including misdiagnosis, an unauthenticated process,
a weak continuity in the treatment and help for unhealthy behaviors.
In Australian and Indigenous patients several studies have investigated the rates
and consequences of miscommunication. A. Cass, A. Lowell, M. Christie, P. L
Snelling, M. Flack, B. Brown noted that prior research including healthcare
interviews and Aboriginal patients identified communications problems. Alan
claimed that we suspected that previous empirical experiments, instead of clear
evaluation and review of intercommunication, had been carried out by reviewing
inferred reports or claiming to have an encounter, appeared to understate the
extent of error.
Our goal is to explain the factors which reduce contact effectiveness between
aboriginal patients with final stage renal disease and their healthcare providers
and to recognize different communication strategies via A. Context, 2002. On the
other side of article (that was S. Shahid, L.D, Finn and S. C, Thompson) a study is
targeted at the Western Australian medical facilities for Aboriginal patients and
healthcare staff. It aims at glimpsing the thought and point of view of Aboriginal
people in the standard of contact in hospitals, preventing effective
communication and even finding forms of enhancing
Hypothesis:
"Minimizing barriers to contact among Aboriginal and medical staff. “
The contact divide may be so wide and profoundly ingrained in health care on
certain instances that the workers cannot even notice it. This research also has
the ability to be an extension in order to establish certain approaches to improve
inter-cultural contact between indigenous patients and non-indigenous workers.
Any of the topics we will address in this study are:
1. Does contact between healthcare practitioners and patients play a major
role?
