Article 1: Kourkouta, L., & Papathanasiou, I. (2014). Communication in Nursing
Practice. Materia Socio Medica, 26(1), 65. https://doi.org/10.5455/msm.2014.26.65-67
The article mainly focuses on the theory that a good communication between patient
and nurses are essential for better outcome of the nursing care towards every patient. Nurses
must provide help by showing kindness, sincerity and courtesy towards patient.
The paper explains about the ways communication can help a patient in recovering
quickly. Hence, need for basic education is required for developing a proper treatment
measures towards patient (Kourkouta & Papathanasiou, 2014). The outcome of the education
and communication would be improvement in the significant association among patients and
nurses as well as other health professionals.
The positive points displayed by the paper is that communication is the best way in
treating patient. Communication can be in any way either verbal or by non-verbal. Non-
verbal communication includes gestures. Development a good relation through
communication between patient and nursing helps in better treatment as patients would be
comfortable enough in sharing the information to the nurse. However, this paper lacks in
explaining the fact that always communication does not make a good relation. In some cases,
people with different linguistic background are unable to understand the language, in some
cases it is also seen that nurses are ill-treated by patients (Kourkouta & Papathanasiou, 2014).
The paper lacks in explaining the fact or the necessary that is to be taken when the patient is
rude or verbally unresponsive towards nurse’s communication.
The intended audience in this paper are the health care people because the paper
discusses about the role of good communication and the way in would help health care
people in understanding patient’s problem.

The article examines about the strategies adopted by nurses, physicians, patients and
pharmacists while administrating medications. The main idea of the paper is patient centric
medication management which can be accomplished by practices that are interdisciplinary.
Better communication related to managing medication is among patient and clinicians getting
directly influenced by the outcome of the patient. The main limitation of this paper it adopted
multidisciplinary approaches that involved acute in-depth examination for medication
connections between physicians, patient, nurses and pharmacists (Liu, Gerdtz & Manias,
2016). The findings of the article have provided an awareness into a way where clinicians
coming from dissimilar disciplines use language policies to accomplish their statement goals
in patient medication organization.
Our findings confirmed the idea that use of communication approaches by nurses,
physicians, patients and pharmacists shaped prospects for developed interdisciplinary
association plus medications that are patient-centered in care hospital. The article provided
valuable information for the enlargement of hospital management programs on intercultural
communication. However, the expansion of management programme would help in
examination of communication problems into other health care organization.
The participants of this research are nurses, physicians, patients and pharmacists.
They were being interviewed and the communication between them was noticed. I think the
choice of participants were correct as the health care people can understand the
