Why is it important?

Promoting patient-centered care and communication in nurse-patient interactions is crucial to enhancing patient participation in the care process. When care is patient-centered and nurse-patient communication is effective, patient disclosure increases and their participation in the care process improves, thereby resulting in satisfied care outcomes.

Perspectives

This publication is significant in promoting effective nurse-patient interactions as a PC4 model is developed to guide nursing care practices and excite further research in promoting effective communication and patient-centered care in health settings.
