Truth telling about the health status

PaedDr. Mgr. Eva Zacharová Ph.D
Zdravotně sociální fakulta Ostravské univerzity

Truth telling about the health status is an extraordinarily serious issue not only because of its impact on the patient's life so far, but also

because it creates totally individual and specific communication situations. Communication with the patient is affected by changes in

the social, physical, and mental areas. The nurse as a member of the healthcare team needs to have basic information on the patient's

health status in order to not only support the physician, but also to assist the patient in coping with a difficult situation.

Keywords: nurse, patient, truth telling, professional communication, communication.
