<![CDATA[Effective communication between nurses and patients is essential in building therapeutic relationships, increasing patient trust, and enhancing satisfaction with healthcare services. This study employs a cross-sectional design to evaluate the impact of a psychology-based model of empathic communication in nursing on patient trust and satisfaction. The model, which emphasizes understanding, active listening, and emotional presence, is grounded in psychological principles that support patient-centered care. Data were collected through a structured survey administered to patients in healthcare settings in Indonesia and Malaysia.

The results underscore the importance of integrating psychological principles into nursing communication practices to improve patient care quality.]]>
