Listening to the cultural voices and experiences of family and patients affirms their value and is critically important to unifying the nurse-patient relationship. This method of interaction allows the nurse to understand family values, family developmental aspects, and the family's cultural aspects. It also motivates patient movement toward positive health-promoting activities. It is not primarily to determine areas for improvement, although the nurse may be able to role model better communication for a patient/family. Listening to communication is also not primarily to determine the family's understanding of health care.
