ABSTRACT
Good communication between nurses and patients is essential for the successful outcome of
individualized nursing care of each patient. To achieve this, however, nurses must understand and help
their patients, demonstrating courtesy, kindness and sincerity. Also they should devote time to the
patient to communicate with the necessary confidentiality, and must not forget that this communication
includes persons who surround the sick person, which is why the language of communication should be
understood by all those involved in it. Good communication also is not only based on the physical
abilities of nurses, but also on education and experience.
Key words: Communication, Nursing, Nursing Care, Communicational Skills, Principles of Communication.
