Abstract

Communication around a comatose patient is a touchy subject. In the event of a breakdown in this interaction, there is a risk of a strained relationship being established between the nurses, the patient and their family, a source of conflicts or value judge ments. The objective of appropriate communication is to place the patient back at the centre of the relationship.

Keywords: caregiver; coma; communication; famille; family; patient; soignant.
