Empathy allows the clinician to gain insight into a patient,s motivational level and potential barriers for health behavior changes. In this course, we explore ways to use an empathic approach during a patient home health visit. Coming from a place of empathy allows the clinician to support the patient in challenging health behavior changes and improves patient outcomes. In this podcast, we demonstrate the impact of empathy in patient care by examining the difference in patient outcomes achieved through directive patient interactions versus an empathic approach. The course reviews ways to approach patient care through verbal and nonverbal expressions of empathy. At the end of the podcast, the listener will understand the empathic approach to patient care and ways to facilitate the use of verbal and nonverbal expressions of empathy.

1. Being Empathetic and Expressing Empathy

In this podcast, we take a look at a typical home health visit, in which a nurse is providing education to a patient regarding oxygen safety and attempting to facilitate a health behavior change. In the first scenario, the nurse approaches the patient using a directive approach and increases the patient's resistance to health behavior changes. In the second scenario, the nurse is empathic in her verbal and nonverbal expressions, supporting the patient in positive health behavior changes.
