Introduction

Healthcare communication is a system of communication among different stakeholders. In this system of communication, interpersonal communication plays a pivotal role. When we talk about healthcare and communication, it is directed to the connection between the patient's data and physician. The data of the patient should be delivered to the required physician. Healthcare communication is defined as the dealing that creates a connection between numerous healthcare clients and teams regarding issues that are related to healthcare. The model of healthcare communication views a broader perspective and includes the external factors that affect the healthcare setting, which persuades the participants also has an influence on the outcome obtained through interaction.

This is where the difference between a nurse who uses mechanical skills helping relationship and a nurse who Helps the transpersonal caring relationship.

For example, the decisions to whether smoke or not. Individuals are greatly affected by the company of friends they have and the norms they follow that represents their community. The next layer to this is the influence created by the society and ...
