Listening and Attending March 2018 Communication Listening and Attending March 2018

Objectives To explain the importance of good communication State how good communication can enhance patient care Define good communication Describe how the lack of communication training can cause professional burnout Name the essential skills healthcare workers need to have, to be able to communicate effectively

Communication All health and social care staff will be trained in communication regarding end of life care. End of life Care Strategy 2008 “Good communication between health professionals and patients is essential for the delivery of high quality care” The NHS Cancer Plan 2000 Talking about end of life care. Right conversation, right people, right time National end of life programme 2011

High profile reports all highlight the need for good communication NICE Supportive and Palliative Care for People with Cancer (2004) Putting principles into practice. Annual Report (2006-07) Cancer Reform Strategy (2007) High Quality Care for All – NHS Next Stage Review,Lord Darzi (2008) Improving Outcomes Guidance (2011)

Feedback from Patients Patients give priority to: being treated with humanity, dignity and respect having good communication with health professionals being given clear information about their condition receiving the best possible symptom control receiving psychological support when they need it The NHS Cancer Plan, September 2000

What is effective communication Involves the ability to draw out and identify patients concerns, worries and information needs. Involves tailoring information appropriately to identified needs and concerns. Involves enabling the patient to be involved in the decision making process.

Good communication Can influence patients emotional health, symptom resolution, function and physiologic measures i.e blood pressure and to decrease reported pain and drug usage (Stewart 1996) Increased recovery rates, a sense of safety and protection, improved levels of patient satisfaction and greater adherence to treatment options (McCabe C, Timmins F. 2006) Increase patient satisfaction and quality of life (L.M.L. Onga , M.R.M. Vissera, F.B. Lammesb, J.C.J.M. de Haesa 2000) Dr Kate Granger Specialist in Geriatric Medicine , has incurable cancer . Since her diagnosis she has written 2 books and has also blogged and twittered about her experience has a patient. In 2013 she launched “Hello my name is” You can listen to Kate on You Tube Kate Granger at Queens Burton She gives a wonderful talk on why it is so important to patients that healthcare workers Communicate Person centred care Introduce themselves Breaking Bad News in a compassionate and empathic way Importance of listening

Effects on the work force Insufficient training in communication is a major factor contributing to stress, lack of job satisfaction and emotional burnout in healthcare professionals (Fallowfield and Jenkins 1999)

Effective communication Despite the knowledge that effective communication is essential in health care there is evidence that in practice communication continues to be problematic (DoH 2000, NICE 2004) Complaints reflect a perceived failure of effective communication rather than issues about clinical incompetence.

Key complaints 1. Safety of clinical practices 22% 2. Poor communication / insufficient information 16% 3. Ineffective clinical practices / admin procedures 5% 4. Poor handling of complaints 5% 5. Discharge and co-ordination of care 4% 6. Lack of dignity and respect 4% 7. Poor attitudes 4% 8. Failure to follow agreed consent procedures 4% 9. Poor environments, poor hygiene 3% 10. Lack of access and disputes about clinical records 3% 01/07/2008 Healthcare Commission 2007

Listening and attending Are by far the most important aspects of being a Health Care Professional. Everyone needs to be listened to If we can “listen” to someone, we can really help them

Attending It is the act of truly focusing on the other person. It involves consciously making ourselves aware of what a person is saying and of what they are trying to communicate to us It is concerned with our ATTENTION

Aspects of listening Linguistic aspects of speech Paralinguistic's Refers to the actual words and phrases used Paralinguistic's Refers to all aspects of speech that are not words – timing, tone, volume, pitch and accent Non-verbal aspects of communication Body language – facial expression, use of gestures, body position, movement, proximity to others, touch

Impact of communication on patients

Use of minimal prompts Whilst listening to a person, it is important to show that you ARE listening. The use of minimal prompts aids this. Nod of the head, “mm’s”, “yes’s” Caution! Overuse can be irritating – sometimes such prompts are not necessary. Often, all the person wants is to be listened to and appreciates it when someone does.

Behavioural aspects to listening Sit squarely in relation to the patient/relative Maintain an open position Lean slightly towards the person Maintain reasonable eye contact with the person RELAX!

Listening is communicating Skill Communicates Eye contact and attention “you are important” Minimal prompts: “yes go on”. Head nodding, “I’m still listening” Open questions “how are you feeling” “I’m interested/concerned”

Checking understanding

Blocks to effective listening Health professionals own problems Health professionals stress and anxiety Feel you do not have enough time Awkward and uncomfortable seating Lack of attention to listening behaviour Value judgements and interpretations on the behalf of the health care professional

Aids to effective listening Attention Suspension of judgement by the health care professional Attention to the behavioural aspects of listening Avoidance of interpretation Sensible use of minimal prompts

Problems in the working environment Lack of privacy, time and space Lack of support Lack of help when needed Booth et al 1996

Listening and Attending Specialist counsellors are NOT the answer – the skills are needed by ALL Doctors and Nurses and other Clinical staff, and are easily taught and understood

The skills of attending and listening are essential ones that can be used in every health professional’s job The skills are not limited to “counselling”, but can be applied to any interpersonal exchanges Development of these skills results in a better listener, but also a better practitioner
