Abstract: An important factor to consider while providing patient care is the psychological support. Many chronic ill patients consistently reported having “significant information and emotional needs” and several studies reported that nurses play a pivotal role in providing both care and support to patients from diagnosis, treatment to cure, end of life/palliative care. Nurse practitioners play a significant role in patient supportiveness effectively by building communication and understand patient’s needs and requirements during their treatment. Adequate psychological support to patients throughout their journey will make them understand and feel-safe and better. Clinical nurse practitioners play a significant role in patient supportiveness effectively by building communication and understand patient’s needs and requirements during their treatment.
