What are some common barriers to effective communication in Pediatrics?
Common barriers include medical jargon, time constraints, and emotional stress. Medical jargon can be confusing for both children and parents, so it is important to use plain language. Time constraints can make it challenging to provide thorough explanations, but prioritizing clear communication can prevent misunderstandings. Emotional stress from illness or injury can also hinder effective communication, so pediatricians should be empathetic and patient.
