Describe Communication Strategies to Encourage Nurses to Research the Diagnosis, As

Well As Strategies to Collaborate With the Nurses to Access Resources

Effective communication between nurses and in the healthcare sector at large is crucial

for improved quality and patient outcomes. In particular, effective communication when

researching the diagnosis is essential because it helps in improving the quality of healthcare

services. However, nurses may find it hard to research the diagnosis if proper communication

strategies are missing. An example of a diagnosis that require effective communication and

collaboration strategies is diagnosis for stomach cancer. There are a number of communication

strategies that can encourage nurses to study the diagnosis for stomach cancer. Key among them

include openness and honesty, encouraging questions, and the use of understandable language.

Transparency and honesty as a communication strategy would encourage nurses to research the

diagnosis for stomach cancer in that every nurse will be honest, thereby allowing other

researches to ask for honest questions that may uncover chances for improvement during the

study for stomach cancer and in the entire profession (Tan, Zhou, & Kelly, 2017).

Another strategy to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis for stomach cancer is

encouraging questions. According to Liu, Gerdtz, & Manias (2016), through this communication

strategy, the nurses involved will be engaged in the research process if they are allowed to ask

questions. Apart from openness and honesty and encouraging questions, another communication

strategy to encourage nurses to research is the use of understandable language during the

process. By using simple terms, the researchers will be encouraged since they will understand

one another.

On the other hand, the strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources

include active listening, creating a clear and compelling cause, and encouraging participation

(Morténius, Hildingh, & Fridlund, 2018). For instance, through active listening, the nurses

would be able to collaborate in order to find resources about cancer of the stomach since active

listening entails appropriate questions about this diagnosis and empathetic comments about the

diagnosis. Another strategy to collaborate with nurses to access resources about diagnosis of

stomach cancer is encouraging participation. There is no doubt that through this strategy, the

nurses will feel encouraged to collaborate to access resources for the diagnosis of stomach cancer

since they will be able to share knowledge about the diagnosis. The third strategy to collaborate

with burses to access resources for this diagnosis is creating clear and compelling cause. This

strategy involves providing the nurses with a convincing reason to be part of the research team.

On logical ground, it could be argued that the more convincing the reason would be, the more

willing will the nurses be to access resources about the diagnosis of stomach cancer (Liu, Gerdtz,

& Manias, 2016).

The Best Places to Complete Research and the Types of Resources I would want to Access

to Find Pertinent Information for the Diagnosis within the Context of a Specific healthcare

Setting

Some of the best places to complete research include Medical centers, research centers,

and libraries. A medical center is an extensive healthcare facility that offers both surgical and

medical care. And, within a medical center there is a medical school. Therefore, this place would

be best place to complete the research because it will provide the researchers with the resources

that they will need to complete the research. Another best place would a research centre. A

research centre refers a place designed for purposes of conducting researches only. This place

would be the best because they will find the resources they may need to complete the research.

The library is yet another best place to complete the research because it contains books and other

sources of information that will help them complete the research. The types of resources I would

want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis include library resources and

monetary resources.

Sources of Online Information that could be used to Locate Evidence for a Clinical

Diagnosis

The best sources of online information that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical

diagnosis include PubMed, EMBASE, PubMed Central, Cochrane Library, and UpToDate. The

abovementioned online sources would be the best sources of online information about the

diagnosis of stomach cancer because they offer bibliographic information, links the publishers of

websites, abstracts, and enough information about the diagnosis. Also, they are the best sources

of online information about this diagnosis because they provide researchers with related articles

about the diagnosis.

An Explanation on Why the Abovementioned Sources Should Provide the Best Evidence

for the Chosen Diagnosis

The abovementioned sources of online information should provide the best evidence

because they provide the researchers with peer reviewed papers as well as other relevant web

sites about the diagnosis. Also, the selected sources of online information should provide the best

evidence because they are produced by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a

centre that ensures the best evidence for the diagnosis of stomach cancer.
