Summary: Nurse Communication And Patient Perception

Decent Essays
I found an awesome article about your topic: "Patient Perceptions of Provider and Hospital Factors Associated With New Medication Communication." It discusses all the HCHAPS you mentioned in your posting. Maybe the article will direct you to your intervention. My keywords were "Nurse communication AND patient perception AND medication.
I agree that you can narrow down your topic. If you want to help the nurses how to teach new medications then your population maybe the nurses. What do you think? But if your population is the older adults, your PICO questions could be like this: in older adult patients in acute care setting, how does quizzing the patients about their medications by the nurses increase perception communication?

    Even though doctors and nurses interact numerous times a day, they often have different perceptions of their roles and responsibilities as to patient needs, and thus different goals for patient care. One barrier compounding this issue is that because the United States is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse countries in the world, many clinicians come from a variety of cultural backgrounds. In all interactions, cultural differences can exacerbate communication problems.1 For example, in some cultures, individuals refrain from being assertive or challenging opinions openly. As a result, it is very difficult for nurses from such cultures to speak up if they see something wrong.…
