Optimism Model by a Cardiology Pharmacist in Breaking Bad News Among Patients with CTRCD and its Impact on Outcomes
Although breaking bad news is a painful truth, delivery is important.It could instill optimistic hope in the hearts of patients if delivered correctly, or it could cause an additional emotional wound for patients if delivered poorly.Bad news is not limited to death; it could be any news that affects a patient's thoughts about his/her future (1).Successful communication skill is one of the keys for improving patient outcomes (2).Inappropriate communication with the patients may be the result of limited time (3).
