Nurses Can Help Reduce Patients' Anxiety

Chances are, at some point in your career you will face discord with a patient or a patient’s family. Sometimes a conflict arises over how the family member is being cared for or the patient may be anxious about the plan of care.

 Anxiety can be the basis of most conflicts in healthcare settings. Although not unique to healthcare, anxiety can cause nervousness, fear, apprehension and worry. It’s common for individuals to experience a general state of worry or fear when facing a new experience, and being involved in a healthcare situation is no exception.

Remember that most patients and families are not familiar with healthcare and its delivery in any setting. Being admitted to a hospital, having surgery (either inpatient or outpatient), or being diagnosed with a chronic disease is not their run of the mill experience.

Whatever the reason, anxiety can manifest itself in the patient and family in relief behavior, which can include anger, sarcasm, withdrawal and dismissive behavior toward healthcare providers. How you handle these emotions and conduct can make all the difference between a successful resolution of an identified concern and an outcome that is not helpful to all involved. Here are some tips that may help.

• ·        Tip 1: You can help reduce or even avoid patients or families’ anxiety by listening to patients. Even asking patients at the onset how they are feeling could keep them from going into relief-behavior mode.

•  ·        Tip 2: Reduce anxiety by introducing yourself and your role and orienting patients and families to whatever is to follow. Focus on patients by asking questions about their work, children and other aspects of their personal lives, which may also help keep patients calm.  The message here, too, is that you are interested in them as people, not just as patients (Crystal Gustafson (2015), “7 Ways To Manage Anxiety In Patients, Family Members, and Yourself”.

•  ·        Tip 3: Another relief behavior that can occur due to anxiety is that the individual learns from this emotion. Being calm, answering questions, getting information the patient needs that you may not have, and being reassuring can do much to help the patient and/or his family move from a highly negative emotional level to one in which they can be as comfortable as possible and ready to learn about, and take on the needed healthcare.

What interventions have you used successfully to reduce a patient’s or his family’s anxiety?

Are you A Gentleman 2: Etiquette Of A Gentleman

The True Marks Of A Gentleman

Some argue that the concept of being a gentleman is archaic. Others argue that the rules of being a gentleman have not and cannot change, and if you’re not standing reflexively when a woman enters the room, then you might as well go live under a bridge. 

Being a modern gentleman can have a lot of impact on our lives as professionals and also change the way people look at us. This article has been adapted and is directed to all male nurses, other healthcare providers and the general public. 
Any man who wants to rise above and stand out (in a good way) needs to keep in mind a few things that separate a modern gentleman from, well, everyone else. 

Consider the following:

• Make a Good First Impression

How often do you consciously monitor the way you act around new acquaintances? You may offer a firm handshake, but do you make eye contact? Do you introduce yourself politely and clearly, or do you slap hands and say “Sup, bro? I’m Jake”? How we interact with our patients and their relatives when we first make contact with them will go a long way in building confidence in you and the services you offer. If you do this wrong, you could find yourself paddling upstream, attempting to land in the good graces of your new acquaintance.

• Be Hygienic

There’s nothing wrong with waking up from a night on the town and throwing on a rumpled T-shirt, last night’s jeans and a ball cap to make a Starbucks run. However, those jeans you’re putting on ought to go over a fresh pair of underpants, and that T-shirt should have a new coat of antiperspirant underneath it, even if you haven’t showered yet. There’s no excuse for leaving the house with your teeth un-brushed, nails untrimmed, and hair unkempt (or at least uncovered. While you may not care what the barista thinks of your appearance, you never know who you might see. Attending to clients looking unkempt may just worsen their conditons (who knows...) 
Almost nothing can turn around a bad first impression, but a bad second, third, or fourth impression can sure as hell erase a good first one. 

• Be Honest

We’ve all been there: Maybe you’re seeing someone casually, or have just begun a relationship, and you see a woman who makes you do a double-take. Assuming you don’t have your lady friend or female colleague in tow, sooner or later events conspire to make it such that the two of you have struck up a conversation at the bar. Assuming you’ve made a good first impression and have some modicum of charm, inevitably the talk turns to relationship status. When the question comes up, what do you do? If you’re any kind of a gentleman, you come clean and be truthful about the fact that you’re seeing someone. That may end the conversation for her, but if she wants to carry on, so be it. Regardless, lying is unfair to your squeeze, unfair to your new acquaintance and generally unbecoming of a gentleman.

• Have Context and Self-Awareness

In a social setting, the modern gentleman is immediately aware of the tone and setting in which he finds himself. If you’re at a N200,000/fundraising dinner, that shouldn’t be your cue to drink combatively and test your personal limits. On the other hand, no one likes a wet blanket. If everyone else is dancing on tables and singing off-key to Jonny, unless you’re abstaining for other reasons, by all means indulge and have a good time. Whatever the case, you don’t want to be remembered as the guy who was out of touch with the rest of the party. That’s a good way to make sure you aren’t invited back.

• Make Others Feel Like They’re the Center of Attention

Most gatherings, be they social or professional, include a diverse cast of characters. Wallflowers, attention hogs and social butterflies are all to be expected. Regardless of who you’re talking to, you want them to leave feeling like the conversation they had with you was the most rewarding one they’ve had all day. You should neither marginalize a quiet type by overpowering him, nor should you try to belittle a big talker through feigned apathy. Whoever you’re talking to, engage them. Listen. Ask intelligent questions. Even if you’d rather wipe your ass with poison ivy than discuss the topic at hand, 30 seconds of engagement will earn you far more goodwill than five minutes of eye rolling. Speaking of wiping your ass...

• Watch your Mouth

There’s nothing wrong with a little cursing here and there, and there’s nothing un-gentlemanly about it, provided the context is right. If you’re with your friends or even slightly more mixed company, a swear word won’t kill anyone. But in the wrong setting, telling an off-color joke, however funny it may be to you, isn’t going to go over so well with the black, Jewish double-amputee you didn’t notice in the corner who happened to be the punchline of your oddly specific joke. In an instant, you’ll go from being the life of the party to a member of the untouchable caste. It’s fine to call Aaron Rodgers a “f*cking jackass” (because he is) when you invite your college buddies over to your house to watch football. It’s not so fine when your boss invites you over to his. Neither is  it fine when attending to clients or in a professional environment.
I find it rather disturbing when my colleagues run their mouth while on duty or in a professional environment just because another friend is around them.
Have some decorum!

• Remove Your Hat Indoors

Yes, this is an old one, but a good one. If you’re going someplace and you’ll be staying a while, take your hat off It just shows a little respect for the establishment you’re entering. Don’t want to because your hair will get messed up? Too bad — in that case, you shouldn’t have worn a hat.

This isn’t the 1950s, and a hat is no longer a de facto part of a man’s wardrobe.

• Wait For Others to Get Their Food Before Eating

If you’re out for a meal with a group, the gentlemanly thing to do is to wait for all parties to get their food before digging in. You don’t want to be the one guy shoveling food in his face while others are still conversing. Plus, you’ll finish before everyone else and have to sit in silence while they finish. Speaking of which, take small bites. It’ll help your meal last longer, and you never know when you might want to jump into the conversation. The exception: If there are more than six of you, go ahead and eat. There’s no need to make others feel like they’re forcing you to let your food get cold while the waiter brings out eight more plates.

When You're With A Woman

Etiquette She Appreciates

• Holding the door: Don’t worry about coming off as misogynistic or insensitive to her capabilities as a human being. Everyone appreciates a little hand. However, don’t make a show out of running ahead to reach the door before she does (unless she’s carrying something). In that case, simply reach over her and assist her with opening the door. Remember, she can open it herself. It’s the thought that counts.

• Opening the car door: Provided you’re parked on the same side of the street as the place you’re leaving, this takes zero time or effort and reflects well on you as a gentleman. However, like with holding entry doors, don’t make a show of running around to the other side of the car if you’re parked in the other direction. If a gesture requires obvious effort and expense, it goes from being gallant to buffoonish.

• Entering a cab first:Counterintuitive, but if your lady friend is wearing a skirt or dress, it’s a lot easier for her to not have to scoot all the way over to the driver’s side.

• Walking on the curb-side of the street: Truthfully, if a runaway city bus speeds over the curb and heads in your direction, it doesn’t matter much what side of the street you’re on. But, still, the gesture is of you putting yourself between wayward vehicles and splashed puddles. She may not even notice you’re doing it (most ladies never do), but it costs you nothing.

• Offering her your arm: If you’re on a first date, this could be a little dicey, so play it by ear. Look at it this way — if you offer her your arm and she takes it, that means she likes you (at least to some degree). Otherwise, it’s a classy, understated alternative to holding hands, and I can’t think of a woman who doesn’t want to be seen walking arm-in-arm with her man.

When You Are With A Client

• Smile: A warm welcoming smile will make the clients feel at ease and they will communicate better with you. It tells the clients that they are welcomed. But a flat, expressionless face will make the client wonder whether they might get the help they need or not. (I wonder what an angry face would do....). The smiles you put on your face brings out the gentleman in you.

• Call them by their names: Get to know your clients names and call them when addressing issues with them. Be specific. For example, say: "Good day, Mr Keanis" rather than "Good Day, Sir". It makes the client trusts you like a friend. More-so, respectfully end or punctuate your sentences with "Sir" or "Ma'am". 

• Answer questions politely and firmly. Some clients can be provoking but only a true gentleman will be able to control his feelings when provoked.

• Respect, they say, is reciprocal. A gentleman respects his clients whatever the circumstance.

• A gentleman is confidential; He does not disclose his client's privacy.

Being a modern gentleman doesn’t have to be hard, and, in fact, it’s easier than ever. It’s all about self-awareness and consideration for those around you. Those never go out of style.
