 Psychology and Nursing

 Nurses work in a setting where they’re required to interact with other professionals in an effort to bring the
best quality care for their patients.

 They need to fully understand how other people behave and act in certain situations; this is where
Psychology comes into play.

 With the help of psychology, nurses will know how to interact with their patients based on different factors
such as gender and age.

 For instance, young patients may be more afraid than adults.

 They may have difficulties in understanding their illness.

way their apprehensions are alleviated.
