“…Two small exploratory studies employed individually designed ethograms to assess head and body nonverbal behaviour (Hardin, 1980;Pounds, 2010). Pounds (2010) assessed behaviour of patients and their nurse during dyadic, clinical interactions. Observers rated eye contact, body posture, head and limb movements.…”

Patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia display social cognitive deficits. However, little is known about patients' nonverbal communication during their social encounters with others. This review identified 17 studies investigating nonverbal communication in patients' unscripted face-to-face interactions, addressing a) nonverbal differences between patients and others, b) nonverbal behavior of the patients' partners, c) the association between nonverbal behavior and symptoms, and d) the association between nonverbal behavior and social outcomes. Patients displayed fewer nonverbal behaviors inviting interaction, with negative symptoms exacerbating this pattern. Positive symptoms were associated with heightened nonverbal behavior. Patients' partners changed their own nonverbal behavior in response to the patient. Reduced prosocial behaviors, inviting interaction, were associated with poorer social outcomes. The evidence suggests that patients' nonverbal behavior, during face-to-face interaction, is influenced by patients symptoms and impacts the success of their social interactions.

“…If nurses are able to identify and respond to these interchanges, trust can be nurtured and relationships built even in adverse situations (Hem et al, 2008). Goyette Pounds (2010) similarly concluded from her case study that increased focus on the small interchanges between consumer and nurse, with purposeful attempts by the nurse to discern meaning and need behind both the consumer's and nurse's own behaviour, provides a starting point for efficient development of trust in time-limited situations.…”

Barriers to recovery‐focused care within therapeutic relationships in nursing: Attitudes and perceptions

There are numerous barriers to the therapeutic relationship between nurses and persons with schizophrenia, such as time constraints, communication issues and the requirements of practice policies. The main point of this paper is that the nature of these barriers is such that the nurse may not conceptualize these as barriers or be aware of how his or her responses to these can further entrench existing barriers to relationship or create new ones. If the nurse is not aware of how he or she responds to time pressure, frustration or lack of clarity of practice policy and address this, there is a risk that the patient may perceive the nurse's actions as lacking in care, presence or involvement. As consumers increasingly embrace recovery approaches to mental health that prioritize therapeutic activities within the context of collaborative relationship, psychiatric nurses, with a long tradition of therapeutic relationship, can rise to meet them. It is suggested here that this can only occur if nurses are fully aware of barriers to relationship, their responses to these and the impact of these on relationship with patients. Suggestions for educational and empirical work to further raise awareness and promote understanding of this process are provided.

“…Researchers recommend that nurses play a key role in addressing these issues by facilitating improved care and physical health for clients with SMI (Hardy, White, Deane, & Gray, 2011;Pounds, 2010;Scott & Happell, 2011). Smith and colleagues (2007) assigned nurses to assess, refer, continually monitor, and consult with seriously mentally ill patients through the Well-being Support Program (WSP).…”

The goal of this study was to obtain in-depth descriptions of barriers to primary care for adults with serious mental illness (SMI) and to provide solutions to these barriers. Qualitative interviews were administered to mental health and medical providers, as well as patients. Several major themes were reported including: poor access to care; patient limitations (e.g., psychopathology, cognitive difficulties); societal, health care system, and provider bias; integrated/fragmented care, communication difficulties; and quality of care issues. Results point to a need for nursing professionals to continue to improve access to medical care for this population, as well as to continue to integrate mental health and primary care.
