attitudes that may
consciously or
unconsciously exist
towards social difference
in healthcare.
Establishing
clear and
respectful
communicatio
n skills.
Strive to master
elementary communication
codes, practice active
listening and asking
relevant questions. Good
communication skills are
helpful in conveying
messages to and receiving
from other parties clearly
and simply with little
misinterpretation.
There is difficulty in
communication more so
if the parties are from
different cultural groups
and of different native
languages. Barriers to
effective communication
can cause the sender to
code the intended
message wrongly or the
recipient to misinterpret
the message. This can
cause frustrations,
confusions and wasted
efforts in the process of
health care provision.
This problem can be
mitigated through
practicing vigorous
listening skills, and
employing translating
and interpreting services
(TIS).
Assess my level of paying
attention, giving the speaker
undivided attention and
ability to recognize the
message. Reflect on
appropriate responses that I
have given and see if they
motivated the patients in
any way. Feedbacks from
the patients are also
instrumental in evaluating
effectiveness of
communication skills.
