Individuals that require the services of a Certified Nurse aide (CNA) or Home Health Aide (HHA) have needs that must be addressed. They may be in pain, be sick, or are no longer able to care for themselves. Treating patients with compassion and empathy helps to reduce social isolation, depression, sadness, and anger. To recover their health, patients need to feel as if they are understood and loved. People want to be surrounded by individuals who truly care about them and their well-being. A Certified Nurse Aide or Home Health Aide will demonstrate compassion in many ways. These may include acts of kindness, soft words, and other non-verbal cues. Sometimes, the patient just needs a CNA or HHA to simply take the time to listen to them and to understand their feelings. An experienced and compassionate healthcare worker knows this. They can help to put a patient at ease.
