Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

  • Sessions followed a relationship-centered and cohort-based model.
  • A survey assessed HPM fellows' attitudes toward core contemplative medicine competencies.

Main Results:

  • Fellows recognized the healing potential of being present with suffering.
  • Contemplative medicine was seen as a valuable complement to HPM skillsets.
  • Themes of "being awake" and "low self-compassion" emerged; mindful breathing and pausing were identified as helpful techniques.
