Communication Models 1. Source = where the message begins transmitted by the brain by:
a. Speech/Writing Delivery Meaning – literal, implied, slang
Factual description relies upon • Details • Accuracy
3. Dental terminology, specific dates, names, numbers style – your own vocabulary, and expression, avoid shocking or judging your patients vocal – sigh, laugh, moan, breathing, rate, loudness, pitch, articulation/pronunciation
5 Factors governing your choice of style • To describe • To inform • To instruct/educate/teach • To evaluate/judge, give praise/blame
3 appropriate “types” of talk • small talk = introduce yourself • dental talk = information • business talk = appointments, financial arrangements
b. Body movements – non- verbal – physical contact environment – organization, odors, appearance time usage and value
Art • Music
If message received and understood 1. Encoding (tell others about yourself and your goals)
2. Channel = media used to send messages = (speech, memos, telephones)
Decoding = What do others do to help you understand what they are trying to convey = heard and interpreted = are you talking to peers and the language will be understood
Communication skills = Not acquired from birth • Attitudes = Effect ability to communicate – lack of interest
3. Knowledge = The DA needs to know dental info in order to communicate.
4. Position within sociocultural system = professional individual’s feelings about semi-professionals.
Education, Experience, Expectations, Emotion, Environments. (room, lighting, odor, taste, feelings, hearing, sight)
The 5 E’s and the senses = perceptions = How we interpret. Responses = From the pt.
4 types of situations in which the Dental Auxiliary might find the vocal aspect of communication to be significant in dealing with pts.
1. Telephone conversation = tone and pitch convey attitude and emotion, care or indifference, friendliness or just plain business
2. Casual conversation = can be used to put the patient at ease, while escorting to the treatment room and seating in the dental chair
3. Interviews = speaking loudly enough for patient to hear you; diction important so patient can understand each word
Dental care procedures = if noise from amalgamator or high-speed handpieces etc. interferes with communication, Increase your volume, or better, wait until noise has stopped.
Three guidelines for appropriate communication • Voice/tone • Pay attention to others, tone, pitch, volume • Use English pronunciation
Three techniques to evaluate nonverbal behavior • Mirror • Video tape • Feedback from others
