Student Paper: Enhancing Patient Connectedness

Patient connectedness is the bond that develops between a nurse and a patient. Enhancing patient connectedness is a worthwhile skill to practice. There are several basic principles that nurses can use when learning or perfecting that skill. Nurses should keep in mind, however, that there are benefits as well as challenges to developing patient connectedness. Despite the challenges, what is gained by the nurse and the patient from each other is rewarding and inestimable. This manuscript will explore patient connectedness from several different perspectives, showing the positive and more challenging elements so that there can be a deeper understanding and appreciation for our patients and our impact on each other.
