Starting from the principle that health-care-providers and patients try to speak the same language to reach the best decisions for patient care, but often misunderstand each other whilst navigating the process of diagnosis, treatment and care, Lisa Sparks and Melinda Villagran clearly explain how health communication theory and research can help us better understand these complex interactions, and provide strategies for improving patient and provider communication.  \u003cp\u003eSparks and Villagran cover a broad range of key issues and theories related to provider-patient interaction, including patient information and affective needs, barriers to effective communication in health-care contexts, and communication skills training for providers. Drawing on the most current literature in this vibrant field, they show the transformations that new technologies such as e-mail and text messaging have brought to communication with and between patients and providers, consider the roles of caregivers, both formal and informal, and illustrate how health-care organizations impact on interpersonal interactions. Throughout the book, Sparks and Villagran deftly illustrate how communicative understandings of patient-provider interaction can have positive practical outcomes, feeding into health behaviour change, creating a communication environment which can improve health literacy and ultimately lead to better health outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith groundbreaking insights, on-point explanations, and deeply moving examples,\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePatient and Provider Interaction\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates and enriches what is most often one of the most important interactions of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDedication.  \u003cp\u003ePrologue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1: Introduction to Patient and Provider Interaction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Patient and Provider Interaction: Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Health Literacy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2: Characteristics Influencing Patient and Provider Interaction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Patient Characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Provider Characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Caregiving Characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3: Culture and Identity Influences on Patient and Provider Interaction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Cultural Characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Social Identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 4: Mediated and Organizational Influences on Patient and Provider Interaction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Social Media.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Health Care Organizations and Teams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 5: Patient and Provider Interaction Epilogue.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Patient and Provider Interaction: Epilogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407312417048,"sku":"9780745645360","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745645360.jpg?v=1784160842","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/patient-provider-interaction-hardback-9780745645360","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
