| Summary | Sporazumevanje v domovih za starejše je zaradi specifičnih lastnosti populacije starostnikov zahtevnejše kot marsikje drugje. Od zdravnika zahteva znanje veščin sporazumevanja in obvladanje timskega dela. Sporazumevanje poteka na več ravneh, ki se med seboj prepletajo in dopolnjujejo. Zdravnik potrebuje za dobro delo v domu tudi podatke, ki jih zbira osebje doma pri vsakodnevnem delu. Zdravnik vzgaja in izobražuje medicinske sestre, ki so njegove neposredne sodelavke. Pri delu s starostnikom je pomembna zdravnikova lastnost empatija in neverbalno komuniciranje. Pomemben del zdravnikovega dela je komunikacija s starostnikovimi svojci. Dober sistem prenosa informacij med ključnimi osebami v domovih je osnova za čim boljše počutje starostnikov v tem občutljivem življenjskem obdobju in okolju. | |
