Presence occurs within an atmosphere of intimacy and sensitivity and is characterized by open and honest interactions. An encouraging manner occurs when a nurse is poised and cheerful and points out the good in a difficult situation, patients perceive these behaviors as caring. Having an encouraging manner also involves helping patients deal with bad feelings. A healing environment, for example, is one in which nurses check patients frequently, respect patient privacy, reduce noise, and treat the body carefully. Attending to affiliation needs occurs in nursing practice with the inclusion of family members in a patient's care. It is a key element in discharge planning.
