A therapeutic relationship is built on many factors which include both verbal and non-verbal communication which helps maintains the relationship and strengthens it due to the positive impact it has not only on the patient’s experience but also the nurse’s.

Therapeutic Communication The purpose of this exercise was to provide nursing students with an opportunity to objectively view themselves using therapeutic and non-therapeutic techniques during a patient interview. By doing so, strengths and weaknesses of the communication process could be identified and discussed. Initially, I felt as though I possessed great communication skills and that interviewing a patient would not be difficult. I also thought that verbal therapeutic techniques would play a larger role in the interview and be more important than non-verbal therapeutic techniques.

Communication is one of the basic survival skills of human and also a fundamental part of nursing. Effective communication would help to promote a positive nurse-client relationship which is crucial for the delivery of quality nursing care (Sheppard, 1993; McCabe 2003).

Seven and fifth century BC, Greece contained some of the most prepossessing and enchanting forms of art ever made. The most common where statues, vases, temples and marble friezes. Greeks took inspiration from ancient egyptian art, as that can be clearly see in all there artwork. Unlike the Egyptians however, the Greeks looked for new ways to represent the human figure. They would take into account different angles as to how an object can be seen, by simply following the rules of the egyptians and using their own freedom and imagination, and with this, the greeks achieved harmony, beauty, and simplicity within their work.

The Japanese invasions of Korea comprised two separate invasions with the same purpose in 1592 and 1597. The conflict officially ended in 1598 with the withdrawal of the Japanese forces from Korea which would result in a “poisoning of relationships that would never disappear” (Hwang). The death toll in Korea of the war is calculated to have been about a deadly one third of the population. In the paper, I will discuss the Imjin invasion and the economic aftermath along with how the brutality and failure found in these two events inspired the royal class to drastically and successfully change the economic and social structure of Korea.

Going through the theories and the practicalities involved in nursing care interventions without having a good knowledge of using therapeutic communication with patients will amount to nothing. According to Ellis, Gates and Kenworthy (2003, p.214) says that good communication is vital to effective nursing and it is a good skill for a mental health nursing to be able to build up a therapeutic rapport with patients.

Therapeutic Communication has a huge impact on patients, whether, we, as nurses, see it or not. It is very important for a nurse to gain a patient’s trust. Many patients are already filled with sadness, nervousness and unsure thoughts of their current situation. Such thoughts may make a person scared to trust or open up to a nurse or doctor. Developing a close rapport with a patient can help to create a safe, warming environment, resulting in a positive experience throughout their time in the hospital or even nursing home.
