What Role Does Non-Verbal Communication Play in Cancer Care?
Non-verbal communication, such as body language, eye contact, and facial expressions, is crucial in conveying empathy and understanding. For cancer patients who may be overwhelmed or unable to express themselves verbally, non-verbal cues from healthcare providers can offer comfort and support. It is important for providers to be aware of their own non-verbal signals and to interpret the non-verbal cues of their patients accurately.
