Importance of Social Emotional Intelligence in Hospice with Elizabeth Dario Bockheim MS-EdL, RN-CNE, SEI-C

In this Episode we Discuss what is Social Emotional Intelligence and how Hospice Staff imporove their approach to patients and families.

Social Emotional Intelligence (SEI) refers to the ability to understand and manage one's emotions effectively, as well as to recognize and empathize with the emotions of others. It involves being aware of one's feelings, having the capacity to regulate emotions in various situations, and demonstrating empathy towards others by understanding and responding to their emotional states. In hospice, being a truly effective caregiver goes beyond just medical skills. It demands having Social Emotional Intelligence.

When hospice professionals develop their SEI, they become better at connecting with patients on a deeper level, providing both physical and emotional care. SEI helps them become better companions in the final stages of life, offering comfort and understanding when needed. Join this conversation with Elizabeth and learn insights on becoming a better hospice professional using social emotional intelligence. Elizabeth is a wife, mother, certified nurse educator, and an Influential Awareness Leader.
