How To Provide Emotional Support To Patients And Their Families?

Providing emotional support to patients and their families requires patience, empathy, and a willingness to listen. One of the most effective ways to offer emotional support is to simply be present, both physically and emotionally. This means actively listening to the patient's concerns and providing reassurance without minimizing their feelings. Additionally, encouraging patients and their families to express themselves through written or spoken methods can also be helpful.
