From the author: An educational project at a 208-bed hospital in the southwest United States was designed to help nurses communicate effectively and compassionately with patients in palliative care and their families. Scenarios were developed and role-played conversations between nurse volunteers and graduate theater students portraying palliative patients and family members were videotaped. Results indicated nurses' increased level of confidence in the ability to convey a caring attitude and develop a caring relationship through communication.
