Application Effect of Nurse Patient Communication in Oncology Nursing

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of strengthening nurse patient communication in oncology department.Methods:The study was carried out in our hospital.Taking 100 patients selected from May 2020 to May 2021 as an example,all patients were cancer patients.When they were treated,they cooperated with nursing,carried out grouping experiments,adopted different nursing methods,and compared and analyzed the recovery of patients under different nursing interventions.Results:There were significant differences in nursing satisfaction and compliance between the experimental group and the control group,expressed as P<0.05.In contrast,the experimental group had higher satisfaction,better compliance and better effect.Conclusion:Strengthening nurse patient communication in oncology patients is helpful to improve patients’understanding,improve patients’bad mood and promote patients’compliance.It has positive significance and remarkable effect on patients.

Clinical Communication, Cancer Patients &Considerations to Minimize the Challenges

Clinical communication is a multidimensional concept, which encompasses the core of effective clinical practice. Communication in cancer patients is particularly challenging and yet a less focused area in cancer care. Various barriers and challenges in communication may affect the management protocol of cancer patients. Challenges may arise in various dimensions of cancer care including breaking bad news to delivery of complex clinical information, determination of appropriate treatment strategies, dealing with uncertainties, end of life counseling as well as cultural and language barriers affecting the whole communication dynamics. Effective communication is the basic foundation for responsive treatment decisions, positive health outcome, patient driven compliance and overall high quality of care. Thus, there is a need for acknowledging and actively deciphering the challenges and developing and promoting various protocols of effective communication skills in cancer patients.

Analysis on The Effective Ways of Strengthening The Cultivation of Communication Ability between Nurses and Patients in Higher Vocational Nursing Education

Nowadays,under the condition of the lack of nursing staff, the state began to cultivate nursing students vigorously, and higher vocational nursing education has gradually become one of the most important majors in many full-time colleges and universities.The students who are trained in professional nursing,after several years of study, they will be gradually distributed to various regions,excellent students will even be sent to hospitals with better conditions and higher medical level.ln fact, the nursing work is not as easy as people know.Nursing workers not only need to directly face different patients,but also need to have certain nursing technology and ability of adjusting to changing circumstances.Cultivating the nursing ability and ability of communicating well with patients of these students is the main purpose of higher vocational nursing education.

Development and pilot implementation of a patient-oriented discharge summary for critically Ill patients

BACKGROUND Patients leaving the intensive care unit(ICU)often experience gaps in care due to deficiencies in discharge communication,leaving them vulnerable to increased stress,adverse events,readmission to ICU,and death.To facilitate discharge communication,written summaries have been implemented to provide patients and their families with information on medications,activity and diet restrictions,follow-up appointments,symptoms to expect,and who to call if there are questions.While written discharge summaries for patients and their families are utilized frequently in surgical,rehabilitation,and pediatric settings,few have been utilized in ICU settings.AIM To develop an ICU specific patient-oriented discharge summary tool(PODS-ICU),and pilot test the tool to determine acceptability and feasibility.METHODS Patient-partners(i.e.,individuals with lived experience as an ICU patient or family member of an ICU patient),ICU clinicians(i.e.,physicians,nurses),and researchers met to discuss ICU patients’specific informational needs and design the PODS-ICU through several cycles of discussion and iterative revisions.Research team nurses piloted the PODS-ICU with patient and family participants in two ICUs in Calgary,Canada.Follow-up surveys on the PODS-ICU and its impact on discharge were administered to patients,family participants,and ICU nurses.RESULTS Most participants felt that their discharge from the ICU was good or better(n=13;87.0%),and some(n=9;60.0%)participants reported a good understanding of why the patient was in ICU.Most participants(n=12;80.0%)reported that they understood ICU events and impacts on the patient’s health.While many patients and family participants indicated the PODS-ICU was informative and useful,ICU nurses reported that the PODS-ICU was“not reasonable”in their daily clinical workflow due to“time constraint”.CONCLUSION The PODS-ICU tool provides patients and their families with essential information as they discharge from the ICU.This tool has the potential to engage and empower patients and their families in ensuring continuity of care beyond ICU discharge.However,the PODS-ICU requires pairing with earlier discharge practices and integration with electronic clinical information systems to fit better into the clinical workflow for ICU nurses.Further refinement and testing of the PODS-ICU tool in diverse critical care settings is needed to better assess its feasibility and its effects on patient health outcomes.
