Health professionals’ presence and attributes in connecting with parents of children with cancer: A qualitative study through the lens of compassion
Human interconnectedness is powerful in long-term professional relationships and strengthens the parents. More research and clinical attention are needed to develop the understanding and help target actions toward building, maintaining, and ending relationships. Further, cultivating being present in the moment, through mindfulness and compassion, may support HPs in maintaining a receptive mind and a caring role.
