    I have been a nurse for 17 years and I deal with all different kind of cultural situations. It will help you communicate with you patients and sometimes your Dr.’s. When there is a clear line of communication things are resolved much faster.

    You get to learn about the experiences of particular social groups e.g. the elderly, the poor, ethnic minorities etc. You should also gain a greater understanding of the economic infrastructure of the NHS.

    It helps you to understand that people exist at differing social levels – aids in your ability to use empathy with your patient

    It also helps you to communicate with your patients – sociology, like psychology, helps explain behavior. If you can understand how and why people think, act and believe as they do, it can only help in their care.

It also can help us to become a better nurse in communicating the community with their illness and need favor….. something with global life have to keep in our hand for our task as a nurse. :)

    As defined, Sociology is the study of human social behavior or simply the study of the society. This is important in training as a nurse, for the reason that, nurses are dealing with the life of different people with different nationalities of any ages. Thus, a nurse should be able to adjust easily or make his/her patients feel comfortable with her for better outcome of the treatment plan.
