LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Therapeutic silence is an
important part of effective
communication. When patients
suddenly become quiet, they may
be experiencing such strong
emotions that they are unable to
talk. Physicians should stop,
remain quiet for a moment, then
inquire about what the patient is
thinking and feeling.
ACCEPTING
ENCOURAGING DESCRIPTION OF
PERCEPTION
Often, patients can draw upon
experience to deal with current
problems. By encouraging them
to make comparisons, nurses can
help patients discover solutions
to their problems.
ENCOURAGING
COMPARISON
It’s frequently useful for nurses to summarize
what patients have said after the fact. This
demonstrates to patients that the nurse was
listening and allows the nurse to document
conversations. Ending a summary with a
phrase like “Does that sound correct?” gives
patients explicit permission to make
corrections if they’re necessary.
SUMMARIZING
Patients often ask nurses for advice about what they
should do about particular problems or in specific
situations. Nurses can ask patients what they think
they should do, which encourages patients to be
accountable for their own actions and helps them
come up with solutions themselves.
REFLECTING
Sometimes during a conversation,
patients mention something
particularly important. When this
happens, nurses can focus on their
statement, prompting patients to
discuss it further. Patients don’t
always have an objective perspective
on what is relevant to their case; as
impartial observers, nurses can more
easily pick out the topics to focus on.
FOCUSING
CONFRONTING
Nurses should only apply this technique
after they have established trust. It can be
vital to the care of patients to disagree with
them, present them with reality, or
challenge their assumptions. Confrontation,
when used correctly, can help patients
break destructive routines or understand
the state of their situation.
