How can healthcare providers improve their bedside manner?
Improving bedside manner involves several key practices. Healthcare providers should be approachable and friendly, making an effort to build rapport with both the child and their parents. They should use simple language that children can understand and be patient when explaining procedures or treatments. It's also important to be attentive and responsive to both verbal and non-verbal cues from the patient and their family. Showing genuine concern and empathy can go a long way in improving patient satisfaction.
