Are You A Good Com Are You A Good Communicator' I found that effective communication is the key in the health care critical for health care professionals. They say that the key foundation of any coworkers is being able to communicate clearly. With the help of effective communication people are able to define and understand goals and shear and receive the information better. When there is a lack of communication in the health care industry it can cause a poor medical care and mistakes in patent’s medical history. Therefor; clarity is a must in the health care industry. Active listening is also a part of better communication skills. We all need to be listening when we work in the health care field. The relationship is a lot better when we all can work together and be able to under stand each other. It can very difficult if we do not work together. It can be very dangerous in the health care industry. The supportive and defensive communication is everywhere and lasting. In the health care environment supportive communication is appropriate then defensive communication. Supportive communication expresses encouragement and understanding when communicating with others while during defensive communication the individual feels defended, anxious or threatened.   During communication as a individual becomes defensive they are less able to recognize the values and senders emotions. Supportive is what seems to be better for the healthcare envioment. There needs tobe more expressed encouragement. There should also be a understanding and with this one it seems to give this. It is better for the professional level than ther personal level to make sure that are on the right page. Assertive communication allows you to share information openly, honestly, and respectfully while allowing others to do the same. This interpersonal approach builds trust, helps prevent conflicts, and enables you and the persons with whom you communicate to get important needs met. This will be good for health care cause people can communicate on a professional level. We need to be able to treat people the same. Its appropitness is that we can state what you think, feel, want, or need in a way that is direct, honest, and respectful of others. WE be able to say what we feel. This way we can be respectful and very honest and open. This is very helpful in the healthcare industry. Here is the test that I did in chapter 6. 1. I look forward to meeting new people in social situations. 5 2. I say “no” to others without feeling guilty.1 3. I express strong feelings such as hurt, frustration, or irritation.1 4.

I think my needs are as important as those of others.5 13. I state my beliefs even when the majority disagrees with me.5 14. I am able to delegate tasks to others.5 15. I value my own experience and wisdom 5 From my scores I can see that able to voice my own opinions, thoughts,and feelings to others while respecting the right of others to do the same. 63 is my score is what I calculated. My voice is very assrertive it is very steady and firm. It is also very sincerre and clear. My speech patternis very assertive steady even pace. My facial expression is agreesive. I can express my expressions with a smile. I keep my eye contact firm also firm no stare down though. My body movements are assertive . I keep my head held up high. AS a effective commpunication we need to be able to commiunicate with all staff and patients with a effective way without being very demanding. There needs to be trust. I say that people can change their style by just being positive. They also need to keep head up. They need to be able to listen to people. A greatlsitener always helps. In health care system if we stay effective and listening communication will go well. There is formal and informal communication. The formal we use meetings and stuff for commubication. The informal is where 2 people can discuss and it can be more casual. It can even be just a email. Refrence Anttila, K., & Moss, T. (1999). Eight steps to effective health care communications.
