Data were gathered through a demographic questionnaire for nurses and a checklist of nurse – patient communication. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, two-sample independent t-test and variance analysis at the significance level of P<0.05. Results: The conformity rate of nurse - patient communication principles with the standards was 76.31% which is an acceptable level.

Introduction Humans are social creatures that communicate through the exchange of feelings, attitudes, and emotions, thereby provide their physical and mental needs (1). Communication means verbal and nonverbal transfer of information (2) and it is a dynamic process between humans used to influence on each other and gain mutual support and what is necessary for health, growth, and survival. Communication is one of the central concepts of the nature of nursing and an important part of nursing jobs (1). In fact, the nurse-patient communication leads to numerous caring behaviors that are the base for providing high quality nursing care (2). In nursing profession, communication and communication skills play a very important role in solving patients’ problems; especially in patients with mental disorders since impairments in cognitive, emotional and insight areas make communicating with them so difficult leading to their reduced provision of information and participation in treatment programs (3). Patients and nurses are the main communication factors in hospitals and communication with patients is one of the key roles of nurses that contribute to care improvement, patient recovery, and professional and social development S201-18 Annals of Tropical Medicine & Public Health-Special Issue Mar 2018 Vol V of nurses’ personality (4). Improper communication can hinder a patient's recovery and may even permanently deprive the patient of health or life; on the contrary, optimal communication is more effective in patients than the treatment with medication. In fact, nurses will be successful in their work when they are able to establish an optimal communication with their patients (5). Statistics also show that majority of public complaints and incorrect application of directives by patients are not the result of incompetence healthcare workers, but they originate from communication problems (6). Therefore, providing high quality nursing care requires creation of a meaningful communication by nurses with patients and an ongoing assessment of them (2). Auditing is one of the important components of clinical governance program (7) as well as one of the ways used to improve and evaluate the quality of patient care. Auditing is gathering facts in relation to a particular problem which is done systematically and offers strategies to improve the quality of nursing care. In fact, auditing evaluates the root of a performance and also the outcome of a specific performance (8). Auditing patient care is a kind of control that specifies the status quo of the patient care and accordingly problems and bottlenecks can be identified and the required plans can be implemented to resolve them (9). The purpose of the audit of patient care is to enhance the quality of patient care, staff training, and analysis of nursing care (10). Auditing is a management control work using nursing standards (11). The term “standard” in nursing activities means a desired quality by which the nursing care provided to a patient or a group of patients can be evaluated. Use of standards increases the quality of care and directs the nurses to correct goals (12). Standard in Psychiatric Nursing is fulfillment of professional commitment in order to improve the profession. The focus of standards is on the performance of individuals. Reviewing and understanding the situation, diagnosing and planning nursing measures, applying and implementing designated projects and finally evaluating these actions by the standards of nursing are used in each center (13). One of the most important principles in psychiatric nursing is nurses’ communication with patients (14) and given that incorrect action is always associated with complications, these complications are seen as a concern in the action and speech in non-normative communication. This concern is a chain of negative and relatively uncontrollable thoughts and imaginations in psychological problems that may be associated with one or more negative consequences. By communication, nurses become aware of the needs and internal motivations of the patients with mental disorders and take care of them because feeling pain and illness in patients with mental disorders are expressed through communication. In addition, always duration and the way of communication is essential in the hope and positive attitude of
