Role Of Communication On Health

How important is communication?

Communication is not only important, but without it, human life would be non-existent. We have to be able to communicate on a personal level, both verbally and non-verbally. If there was no non-verbal communication, there would be no human reproduction.

I believe good communication is the key to a good relationship. If we communicate well with the people in our lives, we are able to better understand what the people around us want, need, expect of us, and what they are able to do and likewise, they will understand what we want, need, etc. This includes not just the people we live with, but our co-workers, doctors, service providers of many kinds...the list is endless.

The qualities should include being able to state your feelings, wants, needs, expectations, etc. honestly and in a clear manner without putting anyone down. When someone has done this, I feel it is then helpful to rephrase what you heard so you know you have understood their meaning clearly. If you have miss-understood something, this gives them a chance to clarify what they actually meant.

When people feel they have been understood, they feel like you value them, and that is a nice feeling.

What is the importance of the health communication theory?

Health Communication Theory is the study of information exchanged between a variety of different parties sharing a common goal—health. When discussing exchanges of information pertaining to health, it is important to understand the implications it may have based on perception of the receiving party.Where the importance of health communication is concerned in regards to your question, it is necessary to consider three main tenets of health where the goal is to increase positive outcomes: Health prevention, treatment, and protection are taken into consideration when discussing health promotion theory. Health communication theory is practiced in each of these.Unsure of the exact context as it relates to your question, the importance of social-ecological theoretical constructs should not go unnoticed as fundamental to the evolution of health communication. What makes health communication unique in practice is that it requires constant action and feedback to reach an evidence-based outcome.

What is the role of communication in an organisation?

The role of communication is huge, but unfortunately most companies don’t really see how important it is.What is its role? First, the role of communications is to communicate (of course) about goods/services that the company sell. NO it’s not advertising! In communications, we don’t try to sell, we just want people to be aware of the advantages/benefits of the goods we produce for example.Leaflets and brochures are good examples. You’re a company who offers programmes to improve their skills level, people will ask you to have a brochure to have more information.This kind of communication is called “external communications”.Then, if there is external communications, there’s also internal communications. Internal communication is communicating between the CEO, the managers, the employees, suppliers etc. You try to best communicate between all those protagonists.Emails, in-house newsletters, intranet are good examples. In some companies, there is an intranet. It is a platform where only the people working in the company have an access. On this platform, you’ll find information regarding the company like: a new contract with a new client, the arrival of a new CEO, some news regarding the achievement of a project and its success…What you have to remember is: communicating is NOT selling, otherwise we’ll talk about “advertising”. In communications, we want people to have information regarding goods and services or information regarding the company. In advertising, we try to change your mind and make you think our goods/services are amazing that’s why you should BUY it.No communication = nobody will be aware about what you do in your company.

What is two-way communication in regards to health education?

Two-way communication is a model that enables health educators to disseminate information in a way that deliberately solicits a response from the intended recipient. For instance, if you are trying to design a community health program that teaches new mothers the benefits of breast feeding, you would first identify your priority population (i.e. new or expecting mothers) and find out channels through which you can begin communicating with them (e.g. local WIC clinics, baby merchandisers, meetup groups). Once you have identified these channels of communication, you can begin communicating by designing programs or presentations which both inform as well as check for understanding.Essentially, in my opinion, you can embed a mini needs assessment within your program which will encourage your priority population to respond to your material both in a way that ensures they’ve received and processed the information as intended as well as allows you to gauge their current level of knowledge on the topic or how well they’re able to process the information given to them. You will utilize this feedback to make changes to subsequent communication and/or programs in order to maximize both the usefulness and retention of the intended program knowledge. This is an ongoing process.In short, two-way communication is a communication model that goes like this: Sender → Message → Recipient → Feedback → (Start Over)The major takeaway, for me, is that this is an ongoing process. Health education professionals should never stop engaging in two-way communication when it’s possible. This is how we are able to receive constant feedback from our priority populations in an effort to constantly improve and better tailor and/or scaffold our communications.

How does communication affect a person's life?

Very much actually. Communication essentially teaches you everything about life and even when you dont want to learn.Communication is not properly done may lead to disasters with irrepairable consequences. Check these to understand what i mean.Communication at times can also help save lives. Read these to understand the importance of it.Now coming to an individuals life, communication is important to express himself and also to learn about others. One cannot undermine its importance for any reasons. But at individual level communication is not as same as I said earlier above. Here one needs to tune himself to let go of his ego, premonitions to be able to become a good communicator. One needs to listen to other person and then process that information to be able to reciprocate.If not practised properly it can lead to disasters in his/her life.They may loose a job interviewThey may loose their realtionshipsThey may loose money in some cases because of communication gapThey may loose their self confidence because they’re unable to express themselves. This happens because of certain biological issues also.Many people are familiar with the concept of stammering/stuttering. The major problem faced by such people is that 4th point i mentioned above. They know what they want to speak but are unable to because their speech issues. Because of this they face the issues 1,2 and 3 which i mentioned above. Similar speech and hearing problems can lead to deteriorating effects on ones communication.Hence I must repeat, Communication affects a person very much than one recognizes.Thank youFew readouts which I found are interesting:https://www.hopespeak.com/blog/w...Importance of Communication in Life
