“…These feelings caused an emotional distancing between them and the health professionals or friends. Gildberg et al, (2014) supports Chapple and Ziebland's (2004) argument and adds that misunderstandings generated by humour can damage the nurse-patient relationship. Gildberg et al (2014) argue careful assessment is required before using humour and Chapple and Ziebland (2004) propose that humour use should be instigated by the patient to signal to the health professional humour is acceptable.…”

“…Effective communication is seen as a core requirement in creating a therapeutic relationship (Geanellos 2005;Jangland et al, 2011;Marshall et al, 2012;McCabe, 2008).
