Relational autonomy influences patient care in several ways:
Enhanced Communication: By considering relational autonomy, nurses can engage in more meaningful communication with patients, understanding their preferences and concerns in the context of their relationships. Holistic Care: Nurses can provide holistic care that takes into account not only the physical health but also the emotional and social well-being of patients. Shared Decision-Making: Encouraging shared decision-making involves both the patient and their significant others, ensuring that decisions are well-informed and align with the patient's values and circumstances.
