In this article it explains how the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano created an idea called "Commit to Sit." This allows the nurses to build relationships with their patients by sitting down with them and talking. The nurses don't have to sit long just between three to five minutes, which can make a difference to the patient. Sitting rather than standing with the patient has improved the experience for the patient.
There are studies that show sitting with your patient shows compassionate care and a better relationship with your patient. A doctor, held a program studying two units about how the rate of showing compassion and respect from nurses towards the patient increases than from the caregivers. The nurses are encouraged to ask open questions involving the patients family and include a meaningful dialogue. The patients say that they love this engagement.
