Abstract

Effective communication between nurses and patients is an important factor to quality nursing care but ineffective nonverbal communication could take a toll on health care. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence nonverbal communication between nurses and hospitalized older adults could help solve communication problems, thus improve nursing care. A sample of 13 nurses and 4 student nurses from two hospitals in Cameroon participated in the study. Data were collected using participant observations and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using open coding and constant comparative analysis. Three categories were identified as influencing factors: nurse views of hospitalized older adults, hospitalized older adult-related factors, and nurse intrinsic factors. Effective nurses' nonverbal communication with hospitalized older adults relies mostly on nurses' intrinsic factors. Identification and nurturing of the positive nurse intrinsic factors are important to develop effective nonverbal communication skills among nurses.

喀麦隆影响护士与住院老年人有效非言语沟通的条件

护士和患者之间的有效沟通是提高护理质量的重要因素，但无效的非语言沟通可能会对医疗保健造成损害。因此，了解影响护士与住院老年人非言语交流的因素有助于解决沟通问题，从而改善护理。来自喀麦隆两家医院的13名护士和4名实习护士参与了这项研究。使用参与者观察和半结构化访谈收集数据，并使用开放编码和持续比较分析进行分析。三类因素被确定为影响因素：住院老年人的护士观、住院老年人相关因素和护士内在因素。护士与住院老年人有效的非言语交流主要依赖于护士的内在因素。识别和培养积极的护士内在因素对于培养护士之间有效的非言语沟通技能至关重要。
