The quality of social interactions directly impacts patient care in several ways:
1. Trust Building: Patients are more likely to trust nurses who communicate clearly and empathetically. 2. Patient Compliance: Effective communication can lead to better patient compliance with treatment plans. 3. Emotional Support: Providing emotional support can significantly aid in a patient’s recovery and well-being. 4. Cultural Competency: Understanding and respecting cultural differences can improve patient-nurse interactions and outcomes.
