Focus on respect as a Compassionate Connections foundational concept

Respect SC

by Natalie Meyers, RN

Intermountain is focusing this month on the Compassionate Connection foundational concept of respect. What does being respected feel like as a caregiver? How do you show respect to patients, visitors, or fellow caregivers? You’re invited to reflect on why respect is so important.

Consider incorporating some of the following words that work into your interactions and communications with others:

  • “What concerns you most?”
  • “Tell me more about that.”
  • “Thank you for waiting, I know your time is valuable.”

See more ideas that can help on the Compassionate Connections website.
