abstract = "Effective communication in health care is a mainstay of patient safety and staff perception of a healthy work environment. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to assess the impact of a course on staff perceptions of communication. A Wilcoxon signed-ranks test indicated a statistically significant difference between pre and post scores for the self-assessment component of the Heathy Work Environment Instrument (p =.0005); coworker assessments revealed borderline statistical significance (p =.056).",
