“…47 Strengthening approaches to communication and relational skills locally might serve to support a commitment to these fundamental skills. Liu et al 34 demonstrated a straightforward yet powerful approach adopted within a model of caring at Wuhan Union Hospital, in the People's Republic of China, whereby nurses are encouraged to communicate on a personal level with patients each day for at least 5 min asking key questions such as "Do you have any discomfort?" and "Do you have any needs that I need to address?"…”

“…33 Increasingly, Chinese nursing scholars have been engaging in research in the field of caring and also the implementation and development of practical approaches in the profession on nursing so that nursing is based on values and philosophies of caring. 34 In keeping with Leininger's approach, these scholars believe that implementing nursing that has a strong basis in caring theory and philosophy can have a positive influence on health and the human condition. They describe caring as an "interactive process that usually occurs during moments of shared vulnerability between nurse and patient."…”

Objective Effective communication skills are one of the core competencies of nursing curricula internationally. Nurses are generally regarded as proficient. Despite our complete trust in the profession, deficiencies and gaps exist. However, it is not clear to which extent nurses use key communication skills in practice, and whether or not confident in using these skills compounds environmental issues that occur. This study explored nurse's confidence and application of relational skills competencies in nursing practice. Methods A 13-item online survey was used to collect data. Results Being self-aware on key areas where there was more uncertainty. Nurses also lacked confidence in exploring the impact of their personal feelings and values on their interactions. Nurses were also less confident on responding appropriately to instances of unsafe or unprofessional practice and using information and communication systems and technology. Conclusions Given the potential impact of poor relational skills on quality client care, an increased emphasis on caring and compassion, and the ever-expanding use of communication technologies, there is a need to explore the need for reflective practice to enhance continuous professional development for nurses to enhance their relational skills.

“…The patients with COVID-19 may go through several stages in different sites, such as fever clinic visiting, mobile cabin hospital, designated hospital treatment, centralized medical isolation observation, home isolation, even rehabilitation clinic visiting [6][7][8][9][10][11] . Regardless of the sites and the stages, patients are continuously exposed to the difficulties and pressure, and prone to negative emotions and psychological problems, which strongly call for personalized human caring [12,13] .…”

This study aims to develop the expert consensus on nurse's human caring for Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in different sites, and thus provide a guideline on providing whole process and systematic caring for COVID-19 patients. Based on the frontline experiences of human caring for COVID-19 patients and the review of literature, the initial draft of consensus was made and finalized after online meeting and revisions. The experts reached consensus on the following parts: terms and definitions, principles of human caring for COVID-19 patients, and human caring measures for COVID-19 patients in different sites. The expert consensus is practical, concise, and reasonable for guiding the nurses providing human caring for COVID-19 patients, as well as other similar infectious diseases.

“…More straightforward screening tools to assess patients and family/caregiver needs would likely be useful in this regard. For example staff at Wuhan Union Hospital, in the People's Republic of China 34 recently highlighted such an approach, suggesting that the nurse spend time asking key questions such as "Do you have any discomfort?" and "Do you have any needs that I need to address?"…”

Objective The aim of the authors is to clarify the concept of comfort at the end-of-life in order to support understandings of fundamental nursing care needed at this stage of healthcare. Methods The Walker and Avant framework was applied to develop a deeper understanding of the concept of comfort at the end of life. Results Five defining attributes of comfort in the end-of-life were identified and they are having a peaceful home-life environment, trust and consolation, proximity and social-cultural support, alleviation of suffering, and a process of integrated intervention by nurses. Conclusions At the end-of-life patients commonly experience physical, psychological, social-cultural, and environmental discomfort. Patients’ families also encounter significant challenges. However, their comfort needs are often secondary to that of the patient. Additionally, a lack of clarity exists regarding the holistic meaning of comfort at the end-of-life, which can largely be confined to understandings of physical comfort for the patient, with a limited understanding of addressing family/caregivers’ needs. Therefore, this concept analysis may provide some guidance in this regard and also provides support toward a more integrated understanding of the concept.
