Question

: Identify two communication theories and explain how they will be most useful to your future clinical practice

Answer 1

There are two therories of communication in healthcare and they are the Bruce Tuckman’s stages of communication and Michael Argyles communication cycle.

Bruce Tuckman’s stages of communication ,it is the communication theory in which a task should be completeted from the initial step0 by forming a team to the completion of project . There are basically five steps in this therory and they are , forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning.  Forming is the process of deciding that what you want to be , storming is the step in which the decision is taken on that who you like or who you do not like , naming is the step which includes when you become normal for that group and fit in it , and the finally last step that is performing in which you decide when you are at your best and communicate properly.

This theory of communication ensure that the candidate which is hired has all the qualities to work in team and do his \her best in team and completion of project.

Michael Argyles communication cycle is the theory of communication which involves the one -to -one communication . In this theory , there are six stages while communicated with someone. These steps are · you should have idea to convey what you had thought , then coding that message means prepare your thoughts in a communication form . then sent that message to convey your thoughts ,then msg should be recieved by other person then decoded that message and understand that message . This is the Interpersonal communication that is  a skill that is learnt and development should be done in way you have learnt .

These theories are useful for the future clinical practice . Michael Argyles communication cycle research and his theory showed how non-verbal signals are more important than verbal communication to convey or to get someone 's felings , thoughts and attitudes . This thing will help in future clinical practice to understand some conditions of patients and person in health care to get to know them better .

Bruce Tuckman’s stages of communication  research showed that how groups and teams need to go through the events of different processes and get to know the better understaning of team spirit to reach the full potentially and work efficiently . This theory also help ful in future clinical preactice as it improves the quality of work and focus on the team work that would be very important for healthcare organisation .
