Article Abstract:

Nurses are taught the necessity of good holistic and individualized care of their patients, listening to their problems, learning from them through chatting, and picking up on unspoken worries and concerns. But other clinical priorities usually do not allow them to spend time with the patients as the nurse-to-patient ratios and staff shortages do not take into consideration the need for individualized care.
