proximity to patients

How Can Proximity Enhance Emotional Support?

Patients often experience a range of emotions, from fear and anxiety to loneliness and depression. Proximity allows nurses to provide the necessary emotional support by being physically present and available. Simple gestures like holding a patient's hand, maintaining eye contact, or offering a comforting touch can make a significant difference in a patient's emotional state. This support is particularly important in settings like palliative care, where emotional well-being is a key component of the care provided.
