Nurses can facilitate engagement through several strategies:
Effective communication: Use clear, jargon-free language and verify understanding by asking patients to repeat information in their own words. Education: Provide relevant information about the patient's condition, treatment options, and self-care practices. Encouraging questions: Foster an environment where patients and families feel comfortable asking questions and expressing concerns. Involving in care plans: Include patients and their families in care planning discussions and decision-making processes. Providing support: Offer emotional support and connect families with resources such as support groups or counseling services.
