Interpersonal communications task group.
Primary nurses can use their theoretical, pragmatic and creative efforts by being involved in groups such as the one mentioned in this article. For those unfamiliar with group work, course and seminars are available through colleges, universities and inservice departments of major hospitals. Even with this knowledge base, adequate supervision by a clinical expert is essential in providing this type of care to patients. Taking on a leadership role, the nurse becomes accountable for presenting effective interpersonal techniques with the hope that the patient would adapt and integrate such skills when he returns to the outside community.
