From the supplier: Assertive communication is important to relationships between health care providers, and may improve patient care. Assertive communication begins with mutual respect and empowerment. Passive or aggressive communication reduces workplace satisfaction, decreases productivity, an may compromise the patient. Nurses with healthy self-esteem who can ask for what they need and speak directly and respectfully with colleagues promote a cooperative and effective health care environment.
