Chapter 5 & 6: DQ Provider-patient communication difficulties are directly related to many factors. Factors that include the use of non-verbal communication, various in terminology, values, beliefs, and goals. There is also the concept of different “cultures”. In healthcare setting providers of all discipline share in many instances the same “culture” that which is obtained in the work field. But we live in a country where we see numerous cultures that not only pertain to different countries but also professional organizations and much more. It is important for providers-patient to have a balanced relationship that can lead to a more effective communication. Providers who face a variance in culture will try to “manipulate these cultures” and yet “they often fail to recognize the importance of sharing symbols/language as well as social and cultural identities” (Pagano, 2017). “Autonomy”, what is that?
