Some of my new findings have been that not only doctors learn how to understand nonverbal communication, but other health care professionals should also learn these techniques as well. Many facial expression research has been done to recognize common expressions. There are many universal facial expressions, especially the 6 basic ones-- happy, surprised, disgust, content, sad and fear. Even though 93% of communication is presented through nonverbal, do we really understand?? It is hard for some to truly get a since of what someone is feeling when we can not recognize basic emotions and their meanings.
This is what many health care professionals do not understand when they are talking to their clients. Sometimes doctors do not see the results that they truly want for their patients because they are not understanding how the patient is really feeling. For doctors to have the best results for their patients, they should take the time out to see how they react to certain questions and get a feel about what they are truly feeling about certain tasks the doctor is willing to take to help them.
This leads me to believe that doctors don't understand their patients as well as the nurses. Only because the doctor is there to assign what the patient should and should not do to get better. But the true care taker are the nurses. I believe that all health care professionals should be able to read facial expressions so they can receive true results and more confidents from their patients as well.
