Empathetic care is a type of care that is provided with compassion and understanding. It is based on the belief that patients are more likely to heal when they feel cared for and supported.
Empathetic care providers are skilled at listening to patients and understanding their needs. They are also able to communicate effectively and build rapport with patients.
Empathetic care can be provided in any setting, but it is particularly important in healthcare settings where patients are often feeling vulnerable.
