Interpersonal Communication in Nursing<\/p>\n
Good relationships do not just occur overnight. They take significant effort, compromise, and commitment. The connections we establish with others are crucial to physical, emotional, and social health (Holt-Lunstad, 2017). Specifically, interpersonal relationships are essential in nursing, for example, improving longevity and decreasing the risk of suicide and depression. Relationships refer to a social affiliation or connection between two individuals or more. Relationships such as those involving co-workers, patients, and other individuals are significant in nursing in bettering patient care.<\/p>\n
There are various ways that I am ensuring success in the current relationship topic concerning nursing. As a future nurse, I am developing healthy interpersonal relationships with colleagues. The relationships are significant. I have become aware of maintaining relationships, which has helped me develop a support system that offers me strength as I cope with life’s numerous challenges. In addition, I have established and maintained healthy boundaries in my relationships. <\/p>\n
I have multiple ways in which I can improve my relationships. First, I want to ensure good communication with my colleagues and various patients in healthcare; this is essential in all relationships. Also, I can ensure active listening in my relationships to make them better (Jones et al., 2019). It involves being part of the conversation my partner is talking about. I can also provide emotional validation and support through listening to my patients. Therefore, this can contribute to better relationships with co-workers and patients.<\/p>\n
Moreover, in order to gain more success in relationships as a nurse, I will employ various practices from the readings. I will avoid judgements or voicing opinions in my relationships with colleagues and patients. Thus, I will always inquire than make judgments. Also, I will avoid interrupting the other individual while in a conversation (Wiemann & Knapp, 2017). I will also ask open-ended questions to my patients for better relationships. In addition, I will be open; this involves an urge for mutual give-and-take in sharing information, especially with patients, to form and keep strong bonds. <\/p>\n
Lastly, there are various ways in which I might be able to assist others. Relationships can have psychological and physical health benefits for other individuals. Hence, in nursing, I can ensure strong relationships with others to combat their loneliness to help them with psychological benefits. Also, I can validate other people’s feelings and be honest to ensure successful relationships, especially with patients. Therefore, I will ensure openness, active listening, and healthy boundaries to maintain strong relationships in my nursing career. <\/p>\n
