Product Description:
2007 AJN Book of the Year!
With practical guidance for effective interactions with clients, colleagues, and families, Interpersonal Relationships: Professional Communication Skills for Nurses, 5th Edition, is the definitive source on communication skills for nurses. The book combines proven communication strategies and nursing principles with psychology and related theoretical frameworks. Plus, the text includes numerous experiential exercises to critically evaluate their communication skills as well as those of others.

  • Grounded in theory, the text provides a framework for gaining a theoretical perspective.
  • Ethical Dilemma boxes appear in each chapter and highlight ethical dilemmas in interpersonal relationships.
  • Critical thinking content promotes the application of critical thinking processes essential for effective communication in the nursing practice.
  • Discusses humor, gender, and touch in Chapter 10 as important means of communication in interpersonal relationships.
  • Communication with patients of all ages, patients with special needs, and colleagues increases awareness of the issues involved in communicating with patients and promotes successful collaboration with coworkers.
  • Case examples and exercises appear throughout the text to promote understanding and discussion of topics in the chapter.
  • Learning objectives, chapter overviews, and glossary focus the student on essential information and help them study for tests.


  • Two new chapters on Documentation in the Age of the Electronic Health Record and Communicating in the Age of eHealth Technology describe how to understand and utilize the most current healthcare communication technology.
  • Developing an Evidence-Based Practice boxes appear in each chapter and describe a current research study and how it connects to the concepts in the text.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nursing Communication Skills
This is a book I bought as a requirement for a nursing class; it's about relationships and communication skills between nurses and clients. Although some of the information seems like it would be common sense, there are interesting points and ideas that are discussed. It addresses the sometimes complex idea of a professional yet caring relationship between a nurse and client.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Comprehensive text on professional communication
I liked this text book. It is clearly written and comprehensive--so difficult to find in a communication textbook. The communication exercises are thought provoking and I like the text boxes. The case studies seem real and capture some of the nursing communication dilemmas I have encountered as a student. This text is a keeper!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - COMMUNICATION
