Application of Narrative Medicine in Dialect Communication Barriers
Zhang Bi-hua
Abstract：Dialect communication barriers are currently the main issue in doctor-patient communication,directly affecting surgical safety and patient satisfaction.Clinically,this manifests as misunderstandings between medical staff and patients,extended communication time,higher operational risks,as well as patients'nervousness and lower compliance with cooperation.In practice,by introducing narrative medicine theory under the guidance of a humanistic practice model,our department has implemented several measures,including training staff in commonly used dialect phrases,asking questions in alternative ways,making full use of gestures,written communication,and translation tools,and conducting thorough preoperative education.These efforts have effectively overcome dialect communication barriers,thereby improving surgical safety and patient satisfaction.
