This chapter is designed to give an overview of a number of specific situations in teaching and research relating to anaesthesia where communication skills may be useful. Whilst there are many others, these have been chosen because, in the authors’ experience, they are often unfamiliar or poorly performed, or assumed to be part of the ‘tacit’ skill set that cannot be formally taught. Perhaps the most important interaction that occurs between anaesthetists is that which occurs during teaching. Communicating with trainees in order to bring about a change in knowledge, skills and attitude is probably the most sophisticated form of communication anaesthetists employ other than the context of therapeutic communication with patients. Scant attention is often paid to the unconscious way in which anaesthetics trainees learn. Anaesthesia, like surgery, is learnt, not taught. Much of the beliefs, behaviours and attitudes that trainees acquire comes implicitly as they observe and copy their mentors’ actions. Part of becoming an anaesthetist involves the acquisition of ‘anaesthetic culture’—the sense of professional identity which may be either a positive or a negative one. When working with trainees, not only should they be taught the knowledge and skills to do the job, but, more importantly, senior anaesthetists should be modelling, and explicitly teaching them, better ways to interact with colleagues. It is far beyond the scope of this chapter to address the issues surrounding education in anaesthesia. However, it is useful to explore one aspect of teaching—that is, feedback in order to highlight some basic principles. Everyone loves feedback—so long as it is positive! No-one likes to feel that they are being unfairly, or even fairly, criticized. So how can anaesthetists give the feedback our trainees so desperately crave? As in all communication the key lies in establishing a rapport. Most trainees spend long enough in a department to establish a reasonable relationship with at least one or two trainers. It is difficult to give feedback to a trainee whose baseline capabilities are uncertain. … ‘Does he always make a pig’s ear out of arterial cannulation or is he just having a bad day? ’ …

The Relationship

AbstractHaving treatment in a hospital (hospitalization) is an unpleasant and threatening experience for everyone, especially for children who are still in the process of growth and development. One way to resolve this problem is to use therapeutic communication effectively which will and will be carried out nursing actions. To communicate with children, special approaches or techniques are needed so that the relationship can run well according to the child's growth and development. One of the predisposing factors according to Lawrencen Green's theory is knowledge, when a nurse has good knowledge, her ability in therapeutic communication will be good too. The aim of study is to determine the relationship of knowledge with the therapeutic communication skills of nurses in pediatric patients. This research uses survey analytic methode with crosssectional. Sample in the study were 66 nurses in inpatient rooms of Graha Husada Hospital,technique purposive samplingfor sampling.Data analysis using the Spearman Rank (Rho) correlation test with a significance level (α = 0.05)  is obtained p value 0.025 (p <0.05). There is relationship of knowledge with therapeutic communication ability of nurses in pediatric patients treated at Graha Husada Hospital  Bandar Lampung. Nurses are expected to be able to improve services in providing nursing care to pediatric patients, especially preschool age pediatric patients. AbstrakBerobat di rumah sakit (hospitalisasi) merupakan pengalaman yang tidakmenyenangkan dan mengancam bagi setiaporang,terutama bagi anak – anak yang masih dalam proses tumbuh kembang. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan komunikasi terapeutik secara efektif yang akan dilakukan tindakan keperawatan. Untuk berkomunikasi dengan anak diperlukan pendekatan atau teknik khusus agar hubungan dapat berjalan dengan baik sesuai dengan tumbuh kembang anak. Salah satu faktor predisposisi menurut teori Lawrence Green adalah pengetahuan, bila perawat memiliki pengetahuan yang baik maka kemampuannya dalam komunikasi terapeutik juga akan baik. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dengan keterampilan komunikasi terapeutik perawat pada pasien anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 66 perawat ruang rawat inap Rumah Sakit Graha Husada dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling.

Globalisation, technology, migration, competition, changing markets and transnational environmental and political challenges have added a new urgency to develop the skills and knowledge needed in the 21st century. Educators, governments, foundations, employers and researchers refer to these abilities as ‘higher-order thinking skills' ‘deeper learning outcomes' and ‘complex thinking and communication skills'. We need to understand how students today are different from those of yesteryears. Although everyone believes that the knowledge and skills that students need today are different from what they needed yesterday, terminology differs from country to country, as does the composition of knowledge, skills and values. This chapter is broadly divided into four sections. The main objectives of the narrative are to understand the growth and evolution of teaching, to develop an understanding of the differences between the teaching of the East and that of the West, to explore teaching as an art and a skill and finally to prepare ourselves for the burgeoning demands of digital-age teaching.

Synthesis Approach

This systematic narrative review of qualitative studies examined health service barriers and facilitators in Australia for refugees after resettlement. Twelve qualitative studies published between 2006 and 2017 involving more than 500 participants were included in the review. Approximately half of all participants were healthcare professionals. A meta-synthesis approach was used to compare and combine findings from across studies. Few facilitators were identified. Barriers to accessing health services were commonly attributed to refugees, but several barriers were associated with healthcare professionals and health services. Barriers attributed to healthcare professionals included gaps in knowledge and skills; poor cultural competency; poor communication skills; and time constraints. Understanding such barriers is the first step in developing strategies to overcome them. The skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals are important to facilitating access to healthcare among this vulnerable population.

Scientific Endeavour

Concepts are essential to any scientific endeavour aimed at ‘discovering’ the nature of ‘reality’. Yet, concepts and their analysis have received scant attention from scholars as objects worth studying and teaching in and of themselves, especially in comparison to data collection and analysis techniques. When scholars venture into analyzing concepts, they generally proceed informally, thereby raising serious concerns in terms of the validity of their findings. Conceptual analysis seems to be unrecognized and even unappreciated. This article aims to mitigate this problem. We first offer a few basic principles of conceptual analysis drawn from North American political science. After examining the nature of concepts and their importance to science, the work of Giovanni Sartori is used to establish a few rules and principles to follow when performing conceptual work. Using a sample of francophone methodological literature, we then conduct a plausibility probe of the hypothesis according to which conceptual analysis suffers from ‘benign neglect’. Based on this empirical test, we conclude that while many books explicitly deal with conceptual analysis, very few do so systematically.

Ideal Method

Training in communication skills is a vital part of medical education worldwide and essential for psychiatrists, with poor communication often cited as a key contributing factor in healthcare complaints. Simulation training is a rapidly developing educational modality, and educationalists need to be aware of its possible uses and pitfalls in teaching communications skills in psychiatry. By exploring the advantages and disadvantages of the use of simulation training as a method of teaching communication skills in psychiatry, this article demonstrates a clear consensus in the literature that, while there are a number of difficulties to be overcome in simulation training, these are outweighed by the clear educational gains. In areas where resources are limited, there are suitable variations of simulation training which can be employed. Simulation training can facilitate teaching clinical and non-clinical skills simultaneously, and the use of simulation in mental health is an ideal method for addressing gaps in knowledge and skills relating to communication with patients, which could directly translate to an improvement in patient care.

Background: Communication skills are critical skills that must be possessed by nurses because communication is a dynamic process that is used to collect assessment data, provide education or health information to influence clients to apply it in life, show caring, provide comfort, foster self-confidence and, value respect - client value. Nurses in communicating with clients must have high confidence in the effect of these communications.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the effect of standardized patient simulation methods and role play in increasing self-confidence and therapeutic communication skills of students of the Nursing Academy of Pasuruan.Methods: The design of this study is the quasi experimental study. There are two therapeutic communication training groups. Group A uses a Standardized Patient (SP) and, Group B uses the role play (RP) method. The population in this study were students of the Nursing Academy of Pasuruan, and the sample was taken by simple random sampling with a sample size group of 16 standardized patients and a roleplay group of 16 people. The measuring instrument used was an observation sheet on therapeutic communication skills and a questionnaire on confidence in therapeutic communication. The effectiveness of the two methods was analyzed by the non-parametric test, namely the Mann Whitney test, to test 2 unpaired samples.Results: The results of this study indicate that there are differences in standardized patient methods and role play on self-confidence and therapeutic communication skills in nursing academy students who are statistically significant at 0.03 (p=0.05).Conclusion: The standardized patient method is more effective in increasing self-confidence and therapeutic communication skills in nursing academy students compared to the roleplay method. Keywords: Standardized Patient, Roleplay, Therapeutic Communication, Self-Confidence
