- reducing anxiety — Yes. Empathy helps patients feel understood and less alone, which lowers distress and anxiety.
- supporting the healing process — Yes. Empathic care builds trust and adherence, positively affecting recovery and well‑being.
Not checked:
- speaking appropriately — Not specifically. That’s a communication skill (choice of words/tone); empathy influences how you speak but isn’t the same skill.
- explaining medical jargon — Not specifically. Clear explanations/plain language are separate skills, though an empathic clinician is more likely to take the time to clarify.
- supporting the healing process — Yes. Empathic care builds trust and adherence, positively affecting recovery and well‑being.
