Abstract

This study aims to explore communication barriers between healthcare professionals and COVID-19 patients at Bima City Hospital and develop strategies to address these challenges. Qualitative descriptive methods collected data from selected informants, including health workers and patients. The results identified three main barriers: process, psychosocial, and physical. Process barriers involve language, cultural differences, and medical jargon, while psychosocial barriers include stress, anxiety, and fear. Physical barriers consist of personal protective equipment and isolation measures. By addressing these barriers, healthcare professionals can improve patient care and foster stronger patient relationships.
