P3 Understand ways to overcome barriers in a health and social care environment:

Positive and negative influence on communication:

  • The support of effective or the success its self which is processed through communication and the interaction which is done through the social care environment which influences a number of factors. Some or just many factors which promote certain behaviour of communication from interaction or effective communication which will border by limiting the interaction but also limit the barrier towards effective communication. Many care professionals who work within the health and social care environment can often defuse the barrier of effective communication.
  • Noticing being aware of certain problems but also finding a solution.
  • Adjusting their communication approach but also there interactive skills to be aware of the certain barriers.
  • Changing your ways to be able to adapt to the physical environment of the care setting.

Environmental factor:

The characteristic of the physical environment its self can usually effect the communication between two people who communicate but this may also frighten individuals from communicating with one another from the bases when communication is used within specific parts of the setting where communication usually takes place there are certain qualities of interruption for example noise level, the arrangement of the setting, the quality of lighting, time but also the amount of space available. Which all these factors mentioned above can have an impact but also have an effect of when interacting and communicating.

Consider the setting:

Lighting:

Depending on the lighting quality of a persons or an institutional care the setting itself can be distracting which can affect the communication. Rooms which are dim and glooming can make it difficult and distracting for co-workers or care workers to communicate especially watch each other’s facial expression but ago body language. Certain disruption such as glare on a window or a table but also standing in front of light can observe the personas face.
