Nursing value 4 – Compassion
My nursing practice is based on compassion. I define compassion as being totally present for my patients, recognizing and meeting their emotional and psychological needs in addition to their physical needs In times of suffering, worry, or anxiety, it involves actively listening, demonstrating empathy, and offering intervention. Compassion, in my opinion, is essential to building rapport and trust as well as to helping patients heal therapeutically.
