NUR 2222 - CONVERSATION & COLLABORATION: COMMUNICATION WITH PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND COLLEAGUES
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is the third course in the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing Graduate Certificate in End-of-Life Care and Communication. The Certificate’s curriculum is grounded in Ruland & Moore’s Theory of a Peaceful End-of-Life, which posits that there are four key outcome domains central to a high-quality patient- and family-centered end-of-life experience: experiencing dignity and respect; experiencing comfort; experiencing connectedness; and experiencing support. Proficient communication is essential to all of the four outcomes. This third course expands on the foundational knowledge contained in the first course and provides the theoretical foundations of high-quality communication as well as the skills and techniques that will enable healthcare providers to engage in supportive and empathetic communication with patients and family members as well as effective, professional communication with other members of the healthcare team. Students will have the opportunity to use simulation to practice and refine their communication skills.
