FIVE LEVELS of COMMUNICATION
- Intrapersonal Communication: Involves self-talk or inner dialogue that influences perception, feelings, behaviors, and self-concept; aids in mental rehearsal for challenges, enhancing confidence and self-awareness.
- Interpersonal Communication: One-on-one interaction, essential in nursing; facilitates understanding across diverse backgrounds. Effective when validating meanings and clarifying misinterpretations during patient education.
- Transpersonal Communication: Takes place in spiritual contexts, addressing patients' spiritual needs through practices like prayer or meditation; important for holistic nursing care.
- Small-Group Communication: Occurs in goal-oriented groups, such as committees or support groups; relies on understanding group dynamics. Nurses play roles in coordination and motivation to achieve group objectives.
- Public Communication: Involves addressing an audience on health topics or scholarly work; requires adaptation of communication techniques like eye contact and voice inflection to engage listeners effectively.
ELEMENTS of the COMMUNICATION PROCESS
- Referent: The stimulus that motivates communication, can include various cues (sights, sounds, emotions) that help convey meaning.
- Sender & Receiver: The sender encodes and transmits the message, ensuring clarity and emotional tone, while the receiver decodes, interprets, and responds to the message. Their roles can shift seamlessly during interaction.
- Message: The actual content shared, encompassing verbal and nonverbal communication. Clarity is paramount, as personal perceptions can alter message interpretation; effective messages should be clear and direct, using familiar language for the receiver.
