Effective communication has a requirement of 4 main skills: Engaged listening, nonverbal communication, managing stress in the moment and asserting yourself in a respectful way. This applies in a given situation where you’re trying to improve your communication skills with your husband/wife, kids, boss, or just people in general. Learning these skills are vital to ensure and maintain a healthy relationship with others, as well as building greater trust and respect, improved teamwork, easier problem solving, and bringing an improvement to your overall social and emotional health. Having effective communication skills in a health and social care setting such as a care home, hospital and/or hospice, is very important as the bond that a patient feels with his or her clinician can ultimately improve or worsen their health mediated through participation in their care.
