The nurse-patient communication in hospital care, case Mexico

Abstract

Communication is primarily a fundamental process in all social relationships, is the mechanism that regulates and allows interaction between people. With respect to the area of health, there are studies where communication is poor in the hospital, nurses being the recipient of the trust, doubts and questions about the information that the patient receives on its process. Derived from this, the World Health Organization in the year 2004, identified communication as an area of risk within the hospital, identifying six basic actions called international goals for patient safety. As the second international goal: Improve effective communication, determining it throughout the hospitalization process, promote specific improvements in terms of patient safety. Develop adequate nurse - patient from entering hospital allows us to develop a more comprehensive assessment of the state of health of the patient, identifying the first view needs that are altered at that time, so that the process of communicating is the base and shaft of nursing care. Without this planning process could not care.
