I tried to translate what we discussed during social determinants this week in order to improve my empathy toward my patients, We discussed 8 important point:
-Decide to connect with empathy
– Use subtle cues to convey that you are listening intently and honor the rst “golden moments”
– Listen for underlying feelings
– Listen for underlying needs or values
– Remain present when you are listening to the speaker
– Consider responding verbally
– Look for cues that the speaker has finished expressing him/herself
– Reflect on your experience and rejuvenate yourself for the next time you o er empathy
I actually started to feel that I am approaching my patients’ differently and increased their confidence with me.
