Abstract Communication is a multidimensional, complex and dynamic process. Lack of effective communication is a major obstacle to render standard services in health care. This can result in patient becoming anxious, misunderstanding between nurse and patient, incorrect diagnosis and treatment, financial burden on patient due to increased hospital stay leading to dissatisfaction. Appropriate nurse patient communication results in standard care which promotes health and satisfies the patient. Irrespective of their specialty every nurse needs to communicate with patients . Ill health and hospitalization place stress on patients and their families and are unpleasant. Nurses play a important role through proper communication in decreasing their unpleasant experiences. Limited training in using correct strategies such as listening to patients is one of most common barriers in health communication. Furthermore language type and technical terms also hinder effective communication. According to previous studies, work overload, no proper facilities for nurses are also barriers for nurses. Cultural variations, literacy status, health beliefs, signs and symptoms of disease, language misunderstanding are some of the barriers encountered in patients. Needs of the patient especially sensory, physical and physiological also negatively affect communication. All disabilities hinder patient –nurse communication. Some factors like religion and ethnicity contribute unconstructively to effective communication.
