There are several strategies nurses can use to build rapport with their patients:
Active Listening: Fully concentrate on what the patient is saying without interrupting. This shows respect and interest in their concerns. Empathy: Show understanding and compassion for the patientâs feelings and experiences. Effective Communication: Use clear, concise language and avoid medical jargon to ensure patients understand their condition and treatment options. Body Language: Maintain eye contact, use a calm tone of voice, and exhibit open body language to create a welcoming environment. Consistency: Be consistent in your care and communication, which helps build trust over time.
