Communicating With The Elders Over Their Health Care By: When providing health care services for senior
When providing health care services for senior citizens, effective communication is very important. It can improve your relationship with the senior and it helps you to provide better care. It will also prevent misunderstandings that may endanger the senior and your relationship with them. Good communication can also help to make the patient more comfortable, this is especially important when you are providing services that may be awkward for the senior citizen. Communication may help you explain how much you love and care for them.
When you first meet an elder patient, it is important to establish rapport. Ask friendly questions about the senior citizen's care interests or family, and be sure not to rush a response. This can help make the senior feel more comfortable and help you get to know the patient. Be sure to use the following guidelines when talking to the senior citizen.
Use the Proper Form of Address. Be respectful, especially when you first meet a senior citizen. Use Mr. or Mrs., and avoid using terms that may sound patronizing like "dear." Your control over the words is going to help you a lot. Ask how the senior would like to be addressed.
Do Not Interrupt. Speak clearly and not too quickly. Also, do not rush or interrupt the senior.
Be an Active Listener. Face the patient and make eye contact. When the senior is talking, respond with short statements like "uh-huh" and "okay."
Be Sympathetic. If the senior citizen expresses sadness or anger, show empathy by responding with phases like "that must be difficult."
Not following these guidelines may deliver an impression of disrespect among the seniors.
