Communication Barrier Between Doctor And Patient Presentation

Communication Barriers Between Doctors and Patients
Language barriers can hinder effective communication between doctors and patients, especially in multicultural and multilingual societies. Technical jargon used by doctors can be difficult for patients to understand, leading to misunderstandings and confusion. Lack of time during appointments can limit the opportunity for patients to ask questions or express their concerns fully.	Image Source

Overcoming Communication Barriers
Providing interpreters or translators can help bridge the language gap and ensure clear communication between doctors and patients. Doctors should use plain language and avoid medical jargon to ensure patients can understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and instructions. Allowing sufficient time for appointments and actively listening to patients' concerns can help foster effective communication and build trust between doctors and patients.	Image Source
