Why is effective communication important in health, and what does
this involve? What issues arise when communicating with particular
populations, or in difficult circumstances? How can the
communication skills of health professionals be improved? Effective
health communication is now recognised to be a critical aspect of
healthcare at both the individual and wider public level. Good
communication is associated with positive health outcomes, whereas
poor communication is associated with a number of negative
outcomes. This book assesses current research and practice in the
area and provides some practical guidance for those involved in
communicating health information. It draws on material from several
disciplines, including health, medicine, psychology, sociology,
linguistics, pharmacy, statistics, and business and management. The
book examines: The importance of effective communication in health;
Basic concepts and processes in communication; Communication
theories and models; Communicating with particular groups and in
difficult circumstances; Ethical issues; Communicating with the
wider public and health promotion; and, Communication skills
training.Health Communication is key reading for students and
researchers who need to understand the factors that contribute to
effective communication in health, as well as for health
professionals who need to communicate effectively with patients and
others. It provides a thorough and up to date, evidence-based
overview of this important topic, examining the theoretical and
practical aspects of health communication for those whose work
involves communication with patients, relatives and other carers.
