Q

what are soft skills

A

personal attributes (defining qualities) or behaviors that
enhance an individual’s interactions, job performance, and career

Soft skills are more elusive and less concrete. These are the characteristics, attributes, or attitudes—such as respect, dependability, and
integrity—that people develop throughout their lives and bring with
them to their educational programs and jobs. Although these are generally personal attributes, when they are sought after and significant for
specific jobs, they are also professional attributes or behaviors. Keep in

A

● Determine the appropriateness of your communication style. You may
need to modify your approach depending on the patient’s age, capacity to
communicate, or ability to understand your instructions.
● Adapt to patient needs, expectations, and perceptions of various healthcare functions. Do not assume that the patient is familiar with blood or
other specimen collection procedures.
● Honor the patient’s decisions and decision-making process. A patient may
wish to refuse a procedure once it is explained.
● Do not dictate to patients about specimen collection procedures but provide
them with opportunities to feel in control by asking them their preferences.
● Do not make assumptions about similarities or differences between your
background and the patient’s.
