Each of you have probably left a conversation at sometime thinking “ what did s/ he mean by that?”
You are trying to understand the process and make it more meaningful

Introduction…

“you can not, not communicate”
Then “all human behavior” is communication…
We often assume that that words and phrases are stable and consistent( واضح و yet meaning is arbitrary and , (ثابتsubjective(عشوائي و شخصي) .
e.g: when we say I “like” you for the speaker
“like” might mean do not dislike, while the listener it is almost love.
4
Communication theories.…Linear theory:
This model refer to three components: Sender: source
that encode the message (information) into verbal
and, or nonverbal symbols that convey ideas
(knowledge, feelings, personal agendas, past
experiences).4
5
Message: consist of verbal and nonverbal expressions
of thoughts or feelings. Receiver: the recipient of the
message that decode (translate or interpret) the message
to make meaning.
Channels of communication: refer to sensory
receptors that transmit information (one or more of the
five senses) 5
6
Circular transactional theoretical models This model expands the linear model to include context
of communication, feedback loops and validation.
the sender and receiver construct a mental picture of
the other which influences the message and includes
others perceptions, attitudes and potential reaction to
the message.
6
Components of communication…
7
8
Receiver: both receives and interprets the message
Encoding and decoding processes: refer to our ability to select symbols that most effectively convey our thoughts and feelings to another
Filter: some models will show a filter as the place where meaning is assigned and symbols are selected to share, the size of your vocabulary can impact your ability to select appropriate symbols ( encoding) and understand the meaning of symbols used by others (decoding)

Modes of communication…verbal nonverbal
Refers to the spoken words that encompass the symbols of language
It is largely conscious because people choose words they use.
Splits of tongue.
It includes elements such as tone of voice, hand and body movements, facial expressions
It is less consciously controlled than verbal.
Called body language
9
10
Many wards or phrases have slang meaning or have developed new meanings
Involves 5 senses , adds to the meaning of the verbal message by expression of feelings, the contradiction or validation of verbal message often tells more about what a person is feeling than what actually said.
11
Nonverbal communication.… Is believed to be the most important part of
any message. nonverbal cues involve all five senses. Functions of nonverbal cues / communication 1. add to the meaning of verbal messages 2.expression of feelings (contradiction or
validation of verbal message) 3. preservation of both ego and the
relationship
11
12
Nonverbal cues are grouped into four groups:Body cues (kinesics)Space (proxemics)Touchappearance
13
Body cues…Facial expressions, reflexes, body posture,
hand gestures, eye movement mannerisms, gait of an individual
Paralinguistics (paralanguage) behavior includes any audible sound that is not a spoken word (voice tone, inflection, word spacing, rate, groaning, coughing, laughing, crying, grunting, moaning, along with silent cues.
14
Space… Is the study of distance between people in
their interactionPersonal space: is the distance people prefer
in interaction with othersCommunication is affected by four distances:
• Intimate• Personal• Social• public
14
15
Intimate distance…Around 30 cm to 45 cm.Communication is characterized by body contact.Heightened sensations of body heat and smell.Vocalization is low.Nurses very often are required to violate personal
space.However it is important to be aware when this will
occur and foreworn the client.The nurse can respect a person’s intimate space, in
other instances nurse may come within intimate distance to communicate care and warmth.
16
Personal distance.…Around 45cm to 122 cm.Less overwhelming .Voice tones are moderate.Physical contact is possible.More of the person is perceived at a personal
distance.Facilitate sharing of thoughts and feelings.Can create tension if the distance encroaches
upon other’s personal space.
17
Social distance…122 cm to 300 cm.Clearer visual perception of the whole person.body heat and odor are imperceptible.Vocalization is loud.Communication is more formal.Limited seeing and hearing.Allows more activity and movement.Person is protected and out of reach of touch.Several people at the same time or within a
short time.
18
Public distance.…400 cm and more.Faces and forms of people might be seen but
individuality is lost.The perception is of the group of people or
community.
19
Territoriality…Is a concept of the space and things that an
individual considers as belonging to self.The human tendency to claim territory must
be recognized by all health care workers.Clients often feel the need to defend their
territory when it is invaded by others.So… nurses need to take permission from
clients to remove, rearrange, or borrow objects in the hospital area.
20
Touch…Is a nonverbal method of communication that
may convey many and messagesHandshaking, holding hands, hugging, all
demonstrates positive feelingsNurse should use caution when touching a
clientFor touch to convey warmth, the nurse
should be comfortable with it
21
Appearance…Refers to the way an individual uses clothing,
makeup, hairstyle, jewelry, glasses, as well as grooming and hygiene
It communicates a particular image as well as mental status
22
Therefore it is important for the nurse to observe and consider the client’s entire message, both verbal and nonverbal, before arriving at a conclusion
Nurse must try to interpret a clients nonverbal behavior when evaluating the verbal content
These observations need to be incorporated in the assessment and plan of care
23
Factors influencing communication Environmental factors (Time, Place, Noise,
Privacy, Comfort, temperature)Relationship between sender and receiverContext or circumstances in which the
message is given
23
Attitude (past experiences, level of openness, socioeconomic class,
Knowledgeperception
24
25
Types of communication.…Intrapersonal communication
Interpersonal communication (social, theraputic)
Intrapersonal communication
Self-talk: is language use or thought internal to the communicator. It can be useful to imagine intrapersonal communication occurring in the mind of the individual in a model which contains a sender, receiver, and feedback loop.

Interpersonal communicationIs a dynamic two-way circular process in which
all types of information are shared between two or more people and their environment.

Therapeutic communication… a process in which the nurse consciously
influences a client or helps the client to a better understanding through verbal or nonverbal communication.
Therapeutic communication involves the use of specific strategies that encourage the patient to express feelings and ideas and that convey acceptance and respect.
33
an interactive process between nurse and client that is goal-directed to help the client overcome temporary stress, to get along with other people, to adjust to the unalterable, and to overcome psychological blocks which stand in the way of self-realization .
34
In summary it has 3 essential purposes:
1. To allow the client to express thoughts, feelings, behaviors and life experiences, and life experiences in a meaningful way in order to promote healthy growth
2. To understand the significance of the client’s problems and the role of the client and the significant people in his or her life
3. To assist in the identification and resolution processes of the client’s problem areas
35
Personal elements important for therapeutic communication. The nurse’s use of self is a primary tool in
the therapeutic relationship All of the elements essential to help another
individual are within the nurse.Therapeutic use of self begins with knowing
oneselfKnowing the self is a complex lifelong
learning processIt is essential to have selfknowledge for a
better use of therapeutic self36

Self- tolerance, tolerance to patients.*Comfort with self and Liking self. Liking self # Thinking one is all good,
without Fault or Failings Self-Liking = Knowing both strengths and
areas for improvement and what exists is acceptable.
*Helps to take into account the effects nurses themselves have on patients.
38
The core of self knowledge is:the nurse’s ability to correctly identify
negative or unresolved issues of the selfWhat values and beliefs the nurse’s holdImportant to know and understand own
family background (dynamic and cultural) and social issues (values, biases and prejudices)
39
Since therapeutic communication occurs for the purpose of helping others, it is vital that nurses understand what motivates them to help others
40
the nurse needs to be able to conduct a
periodic self evaluation to her/his responses to the client:
Am I open or closed minded regarding …….Am I acceptingAm I being supportiveAm I objectiveAm I remaining calm, what are my true feelings
41
Johari Window model…The Johari Window model is a simple and useful
tool for illustrating and improving self-awareness, and mutual understanding between individuals within a group.
Johari Window actually represents information , feelings, experiences, views, attitudes, skills, intentions, motivation, etc - within or about a person - in relation to their group, from four perspectives, which are described below.
42
The Johari Window's four regions, (areas, quadrants, or perspectives) are as follows, showing the quadrant numbers and commonly used names:
43
1 . open : Known to self and others
Trust, acceptance, understanding, warmth, caring, genuine, respect
2. Blind : Unknown to self and Known to othersconfrontation, feedback
3. hidden : Known to self and not Known to othersself disclosure, (communication skills needed: building trust, exploring, expressing feelings, finding alternatives) catharsis, confidentiality
4. unknown to self and not Known to othersdefence mechanisms, resistance, transference, repressed memories, new experiences
44
The Johari Window model is also referred to as a 'disclosure/feedback model of self awareness', and by some people an 'information processing tool'. The
45
1.what is known by the person about him/herself and is also known by others - open area, open self, free area, free self, or 'the arena'
2.what is unknown by the person about him/herself but which others know - blind area, blind self, or 'blindspot'
46
3.what the person knows about him/herself that others do not know - hidden area, hidden self, avoided area, avoided self

2.Listing to others/ ( Feed back ) In put from others / Interactive Reflection)
It opens area # of the self ( Blind )Therapeutic Confrontation: communication by which the
person or nurse has the intent to raise patient’s awareness of incongruities in feelings, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Timing and trust are important in confrontation. Also it must be immediate, specific, non-accusatory, and non-interpretive to be effective.
The purpose is to bring the maladaptive behaviour to conscious level.

3. Telling others about self and letting others to listen to you.
( self- sharing ) ( self- disclosure)In order to become open an atmosphere of trust,
caring, understanding, acceptance, empathy, respect, warmth, genuine, must be insured to make both persons psychologically safe to disclose self and receive feedback, and change behaviour.
