Download or read book Medical Analogies for Clinician Patient Communication written by Muhammad Azaan Khan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-healthcare worker communication is the cornerstone of an informed and patient-centered approach to healthcare. It is continually stressed throughout all aspects of medical training and practice, but this can be impaired by the myriad of medical jargon and complex pathophysiology required in explaining a patient’s condition. This book aims to provide a comprehensive reference of analogies which simplify and make the most common medical conditions that patients may question about or be afflicted with comprehensible. There is need for an efficient way to translate years of study and experiential learning from the doctor and healthcare professional to the patient. The book contains over 200 analogies that span across 19 chapters covering a wide variety of medicine specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and more. Each chapter follows a consistent format: a condition is given, the analogy title for the condition is given, and then the analogy is explained in the body text. The authors took some of the most common encountered medical conditions and attributed them to digestible analogies that help bridge the gap between healthcare professional to patient. Medical Analogies for Clinician-Patient Communication: Innovative Strategies for Improving the Clinical Encounter serves as a fruitful reference for anyone wanting to communicate profoundly with their patients without forfeiting brevity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to synthesize a growing international and interdisciplinary body of experience, this volume provides a mandate and a charge to medicine to fundamentally transform the traditional clinical method and the social relations it fosters between doctor and patient and between student and teacher.

Four sections deal with issues related to the doctor's own transformation, the medical interview, teaching and learning, and validation.

Book excerpt: At the start of studies on health communication, scholars were primarily concerned with showing the ethical implications of a new approach to care and with collecting evidence to demonstrate its greater effectiveness as opposed to the paternalistic and mechanistic paradigms. Well into the second decade of the 21st century, different issues need to be addressed. Aging populations and the spread of chronic diseases are challenging the sustainability of health care systems worldwide; increased awareness of health issues among the population and greater citizen participation seem to threaten clinicians’ authority. In this new scenario, it is acknowledged that the quality of verbal communication plays a crucial role, but it is still not clear how it impacts on the outcomes of care, which are its constitutive components and how it interacts with the institutional, cultural and social context of interactions. This book suggests that the time is ripe for a fresh start in health communication studies. As Debra Roter points out in her foreword, this proposal “is ambitious in attempting to integrate perspectives derived from pragmatics and argumentation theory with those derived from quantitative methods of medical interaction analysis and its prediction of outcomes”. On the other hand, as Giovanni Gobber explains in his foreword, “health communication can profit from an application of a performance-oriented linguistic analysis that pays attention to the role of the various relevant context factors in speech events related to specific activity types”. In this way, the open questions regarding communication in medical encounters are considered under a new light. The answers provided open up novel lines of research and provide an original perspective to face the new challenges in medical care.

Download or read book Doctor Patient Communication Skills written by Howard S Bush, MD and published by . This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the use of common, practical real-life analogies, the author is able to use clinical vignettes to breakdown often complex medical issues into concepts that are easy for patients/families to understand. Dr. Bush is an interventional/clinical cardiologist that has practiced at The Cleveland Clinic (Weston) since 1990. His practice consists of performing invasive/interventional procedures, clinical cardiology, and in mentoring the next generation of cardiologists. He currently has a "5 star" rating with every major internet healthcare grading service, and previous accolades have included: Clinician of the Year, Award for Excellence in Doctor Communication, Master Clinician Award, and listed in Castle Connolly Top Doctors for the past 25+ years. This book is written for health care providers, with a major focus on medical students, residents, fellows, and early career physicians. With little emphasis on doctor-patient communication skills during formal training, these essential skills have to be developed on the job. Although many of the clinical examples relate to cardiology patients, the thought process can be applied not only to other areas in medicine, but to other professions as well. The author was motivated by the feedback received over the years from the countless trainees that he has mentored, but more importantly, by the many patients whose life he has impacted. The reader will find this information not only enjoyable, but will leave with a rejuvenated passion towards patient care. Success in this area will translate into improved patient compliance, improved physician satisfaction, reduced liability, and most importantly, improved patient outcomes.

This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges functional models for more aesthetic and ethical models, where communication is grounded in values systems of cultures. Here, communication is treated as a distributed phenomenon involving networks of persons, activities and artifacts, and extends beyond doctor-patient relationships to working in and across teams around patients. The purpose of the book is to stimulate thinking about how patient care and safety may be improved through a focus upon the ‘non-technical’ work of doctors – interpersonal communication, teamwork and situation awareness in teams. The focus is then not on the personality of the doctor, but on the dynamics of relationships which form doctors’ multiple identities.

As she explains in her book, she not only has years of first-hand experience as a practitioner but learned as a patient as well, just how important proper communication and relationship building can be.As I read her book, I learned a great deal about how I can better my relationship with my providers, as well as how I, as a hospital chaplain, can better interact with the patients who look to me as one of the members of their team of care providers. I strongly urge all healthcare providers as well as those who have found it difficult to develop trusting relationships with their providers to read this book.= James M DakisThis is a very informative book to read for both clinicians in practice and patients who may have many concerns about seeing a healthcare provider for the first time. Mrs. Aghanya has shown examples of many patients that clinicians encounter on a daily basis. With funny cartoon illustrations throughout the chapters to describe different patient personalities I thought that she did a very good job of giving her own personal examples and giving tips on how to handle these patients. I especially liked reading about an Opinionated Patient she had seen with an elevated blood pressure who was on Coumadin. This clinical scenario is very common in practice and the tip she used on how to handle this type of patient was very helpful.I also think that this book would be very helpful for nursing/nurse practitioner students. It could be used as part of the curriculum for undergraduate/graduate school and as a tool for teachers to encourage students to give their own examples of patients that they will or have encountered.I really enjoyed reading Mrs. Aghanya's book and I could relate to many of the scenarios she discussed as a clinician. This is a must read for all clinicians!= Cynthia Setoodeh RN, MSN, APN-C
