Despite its occasional necessity, shouting can have several negative consequences:
Increased Anxiety: Shouting can exacerbate anxiety levels in patients, particularly those who are already stressed or frightened. Communication Breakdown: Shouting can lead to misunderstandings and impaired communication, which can negatively affect patient care. Damage to Professional Relationships: Consistent shouting can erode trust and respect between colleagues, impacting team dynamics and collaboration. Emotional Distress: Both patients and healthcare providers can experience emotional distress from being shouted at, potentially leading to burnout or decreased job satisfaction.
