Exploring patients’ opportunities for participation in meetings with a contact nurse, prior to cancer treatment – An interview study
The result highlights the importance for CNs of establishing relationships with their patients. It also points out the importance of the patients understanding of their situation. These insights emphasize the need for CNs to prioritize empathic communication, the need to adapt information to the patient's preunderstanding and to actively involve patients in their care planning, enhancing overall patient satisfaction and outcomes.
