Abstract (English): Nurse anesthetists are pivotal in perioperative and procedural care, where precise communication is crucial for patient safety and effective teamwork. Despite the acknowledged importance of interpersonal communication in healthcare, there is a gap in understanding its specific impact on collaborative learning and clinical performance among nurse anesthetists. This study aims to evaluate how interpersonal communication proficiency influences situational awareness, response times, and decision-making accuracy in nurse anesthetists. The goal is to provide insights that can inform educational curricula and clinical practices. A quantitative research design was employed, involving 12 nurse anesthetists who participated in 10 simulated emergency scenarios. Key performance metrics, including response times and decision-making accuracy, were analyzed in relation to communication strategies such as closed-loop communication and the SBAR tool. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between communication effectiveness and clinical performance. The findings reveal that nurse anesthetists who effectively utilized structured communication strategies, like closed-loop communication and SBAR, exhibited faster response times and higher decision-making accuracy. A significant negative correlation was found between response times and communication effectiveness (r = -0.68, p < 0.05), while a positive correlation was observed between communication effectiveness and decision-making accuracy (r = 0.72, p < 0.05). This study underscores the critical role of interpersonal communication in enhancing clinical performance in anesthetic nursing. The results suggest that integrating structured communication training into nurse anesthetist education and fostering a supportive communication culture in healthcare institutions can significantly improve team performance and patient outcomes. However, the study's small sample size and the use of simulated scenarios limit the generalizability of the findings. Future research should explore these dynamics in other medical specialties with larger, more diverse samples, and investigate the long-term impact of communication training using emerging technologies like virtual reality.

Abstract (Portuguese): Os enfermeiros anestesistas desempenham um papel fundamental nos cuidados perioperatórios e em procedimentos, onde a comunicação precisa é crucial para a segurança do paciente e para o trabalho em equipe eficaz. Apesar da importância reconhecida da comunicação interpessoal na área da saúde, existe uma lacuna na compreensão de seu impacto específico na aprendizagem colaborativa e no desempenho clínico entre os enfermeiros anestesistas. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar como a proficiência na comunicação interpessoal influencia a consciência situacional, os tempos de resposta e a precisão na tomada de decisões dos enfermeiros anestesistas. O objetivo é fornecer insights que possam informar currículos educacionais e práticas clínicas. Foi empregada uma abordagem quantitativa de pesquisa, envolvendo 12 enfermeiros anestesistas que participaram de 10 cenários simulados de emergência. Métricas de desempenho-chave, incluindo tempos de resposta e precisão na tomada de decisões, foram analisadas em relação a estratégias de comunicação, como a comunicação em circuito fechado (closed-loop communication) e a ferramenta SBAR. Foram realizadas análises de correlação e regressão para avaliar a relação entre a eficácia da comunicação e o desempenho clínico. Os resultados revelam que os enfermeiros anestesistas que utilizaram de maneira eficaz estratégias de comunicação estruturada, como a comunicação em circuito fechado e o SBAR, apresentaram tempos de resposta mais rápidos e maior precisão na tomada de decisões. Foi encontrada uma correlação negativa significativa entre os tempos de resposta e a eficácia da comunicação (r = - 0,68, p < 0,05), enquanto uma correlação positiva foi observada entre a eficácia da comunicação e a precisão na tomada de decisões (r = 0,72, p < 0,05). Este estudo destaca o papel crítico da comunicação interpessoal na melhoria do desempenho clínico na enfermagem anestésica. Os resultados sugerem que a integração de treinamentos de comunicação estruturada na educação dos enfermeiros anestesistas e o incentivo a uma cultura de comunicação de apoio nas instituições de saúde podem melhorar significativamente o desempenho das equipes e os resultados dos pacientes. No entanto, o pequeno tamanho da amostra e o uso de cenários simulados limitam a generalização dos resultados. Pesquisas futuras devem explorar essas dinâmicas em outras especialidades médicas, com amostras maiores e mais diversificadas, e investigar o impacto a longo prazo do treinamento em comunicação utilizando tecnologias emergentes, como a realidade virtual.
