Communication in Healthcare
Observational studies are research methods where the researcher observes subjects in their natural environment without intervention or manipulation. This approach is critical in understanding behaviors, interactions, and outcomes, especially in healthcare settings, where factors such as nonverbal communication and the effectiveness of communication interventions can be evaluated. Through these studies, researchers can gather real-world data that reflects genuine patient-provider interactions and communication patterns.
