What are Some Techniques for Effective Communication?
- Use Analogies: Compare medical procedures to everyday activities. For example, explain an MRI as a "special camera that takes pictures of the inside of your body" and liken the sounds it makes to "a drum playing." - Visual Aids: Use pictures, videos, or toys to explain medical procedures. Visual aids can make explanations more engaging and easier to understand. - Storytelling: Create stories around medical procedures or conditions. For instance, describe the immune system as "soldiers" fighting off "germs."
