Abstract

This paper examined the place of effective communication among student nurses of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) and explored strategies to enhance their communication skills. Effective communication is crucial in nursing practice for ensuring patient safety, promoting positive outcomes, and fostering therapeutic relationships. The study was motivated by the discovery during lectures that a number of the students had challenges with basic communication. The paper randomly selected thirty participants who are Peri-Operative, Post-Basic Anesthesia, and Nephrology student-nurses from the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Plateau State, for the study and using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as data collection method, data was elicited from the discussion and discussed in the study. The paper discovered that language barriers, cultural differences, and limited proficiency in English pose significant challenges for student nurses and widely affect their communication. The paper therefore concluded that by implementing targeted interventions such as language support programs, cultural competency training, and communication skills workshops, educators and healthcare institutions can empower student nurses to overcome language barriers and enhance their communication abilities.

Abstract

Effective nurse-patient communication is essential for providing high-quality healthcare and ensuring patient safety and satisfaction. Proficiency in English is crucial for nurses to effectively interact with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals. However, many nurses face challenges in using correct grammar and language, which can impact communication and care delivery. This paper explores the relevance of English proficiency in nurse-patient communication, examines the grammar challenges nurses face, and suggests potential strategies to overcome these challenges. A total of 35 student-nurses were randomly selected from the Post Basic Nursing Anesthesia (PBNA) and Peri-Operative Nursing (PON) program at JUTH. The study adopted a mixed-methods research design, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. Among other challenges, the study discovered that nurses face problems in the areas of tenses, choice of words, sentence construction, and patients’ poor grasp of English. The study suggests that language training and support, and continuous professional development, etc. can help improve the communication among nurses and with patients. The study thus concludes that proficiency in English and proper grammar usage are essential for effective nurse-patient communication, and overcoming language and grammar challenges can improve patient safety, satisfaction, and healthcare outcomes.
