Nurse–patient communication in cancer care: does responding to patient's cues predict patient satisfaction with communication

“…Yet, when measured not close to the moment of the actual performance, satisfaction tends to reflect improvement in functioning rather than satisfaction with particular health-care provider behaviour [30,36]. In the broader context of the emotional dimension of communication, our finding is in line with previous work [11][12][13][14]16,37] that showed that the emotional dimension of provider communication is valued by patients.
