Description

Introduction: One of the nursing actions to overcome anxiety problems is
to carry out therapeutic communication. With the existence of therapeutic
communication, nurses can help clients and families understand better
through verbal and non-verbal communication. However, there is often a
gap between good communication theory and communication practice,
leading to gaps in the field. The study wanted to determine the relationship
between the nurse's therapeutic communication and the anxiety level of
the patient's family experiencing emergency conditions.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional and descriptive
correlational research design with a sample size of 50 respondents using
purposive sampling.
Results: The results showed a relationship between nurses' therapeutic
communication and the anxiety level of patients' families experiencing
emergency conditions, with a p-value of 0.003. This study indicated that
most of the nurses' therapeutic communication was good (96%), and the
patient's family anxiety level was mild (88%).
Conclusion: Good therapeutic communication by nurses can reduce family
anxiety.
