The Importance Of Nursing Uniform And Its Relationship With Nonverbal Communication

The importance of nursing uniform and its relationship with nonverbal communication

The uniform is a way to identify a person, to know how he develops and somehow know what his personality is. In the case of nursing it is known that since before they already used a garment with which they were quickly identified. At present we realize the important use of the uniform and the correct way to use it, since over the years it is losing its correct use and that is why the communication that is with patients and family members is very different is very different , since it entails many erroneous thoughts for each person who comes to have contact with a nursing professional.

The uniform according to the enlightened dictionary of the Spanish language, is a "peculiar and distinctive dress that individuals belonging to the same body, the same school and that has the same form" use ”.

The concept designated by nonverbal communication is enormously broad. According to, a. M. Cestero (1999) understands the expressions issued by body attitudes, which cannot be transmitted with words. This form of communication is, in most of the time, issued by the body without us being aware of what we are issuing.

Over time the uniform to evolved in a peculiar way. In the case of Florence a long skirt was used that was used in the field of religion. At first it was a profession that few women could do it since men enlisted war and the only ones who could do this work are women, apart from the fact that they could have a correct and attentive communication towards the usury, with an aspect of empathy.

There are some characteristics of the nursing uniform that is characterized by being white, so far there has been no respect for color. The white color is identified by purity, cleanliness, and support for another person, being respectful of your body, feelings, and life experiences. That is why in the health aspect most of the time, through the evolution of the uniform it was not stopped using this, although some color elements were changing.

In these years the layer used in the time of World War the responsibility, with which the nurse is identified.

The nurse includes in her communication changes her way of expressing himself; either verbal or not for the best understanding of the aspects when speaking. These functions is that each professional must bring some changes to promote well -being, in addition to maintaining socialization without problems and clearly.

From this criterion it could be thought that the presence of the professional in nursing is not taken into account properly dressed during the exercise of their functions, and that if they do not point out problems with clothing it is because they do not have it or not important to fulfill its use properly , or that does not know how to carry it as it should, without complying with the rules imposed on it.

That is why the clothing that the person uses, which can be translated into appearance, being considered the type of image that it wants to transmit, and can also be used as the expression of her needs towards the human being.

The representation of the nonverbal communication of the human being is extremely important, many times the gestures, or movements can be expressed in different ways and their understanding depends on the person to whom it is directed.

For nursing it is very important since nurses are in most of their times in contact and interacting with people with good health or those who are admitted; that are usually those that no longer have health or are in recovery.

At the time of being with the patient, not only the nurse presents non -verbal communication, but also users in their way of dressing; Thus you will know what kind of person is and how are the habits of care of him in his illness and if he really does what the doctor indicates.

This aspect is important to identify since with that the nurse is based on the correct way to communicate with the patient without having any problem to understand.

It is very important that the nursing professional must be trained to decipher and understand the expressions that are identified with nonverbal communication, as well as having the ability to use this form of communication to establish relationships and improve the quality of user care.

Without leaving behind the appearance of the good use of the clothing that is requested; complying with the rules that each institution and personnel leave to have a better activity.

At present, the Baria nursing uniform according to the institution in which it is incorporated, in some they still have aspects that many hospitals already restricted because for them they think that their use of correct and does not damage the integrity of the personnel or the patient.

Today the way to recognize a nurse is usually through the uniform shield, credential of the institution to which it is incorporated either from the school itself or the hospital, or by the differentiation of uniform colors that have been In the hospital or health center, and that makes that purity and clean those aspects that identify it.

In my personal criteria, the importance of the correct use of uniform is essential to give the user and family members an aspect of cleanliness and be the nurse with whom the patient can have confidence and do not feel isolated or dissatisfied with the care provided in their care , in the proper use of this we can identify the way in which the nurse can communicate with the patients treated, and the way they want them to communicate towards him.

Through this research it is possible to conclude that nursing professionals must identify the importance of having a person outside your family and the importance of nonverbal communication during patient care; Because it is transmitted in it and relationships are established depending on the aspect that it directs towards other people.
