Patient comfort refers to how at ease and well-cared-for a person feels during medical treatment or healthcare interactions. It involves addressing physical needs, such as pain management and environment, as well as emotional support to reduce anxiety and stress. Creating a comfortable experience helps patients recover better, feel more valued, and trust their healthcare providers. Small factors like proper positioning, clear communication, privacy, and a calming setting all contribute to overall comfort, promoting a positive experience and smoother healthcare journey.
