Abstract
Psychiatric inpatients often experience loneliness and disconnection during hospitalization, hindering their recovery and satisfaction with care. Nurses spend a limited portion of their time in direct patient interaction, dedicating only a small percentage to therapeutic engagement. Positive nurse-patient interactions, such as "Time Together" interventions, foster hope, personal recovery, and emotional well-being. Authentic engagement enhances satisfaction and supports shared decision-making (Molin et al., 2018). Nurses advocate for expanding traditional care models to prioritize consistent and meaningful patient contact. This research aims to examine whether frequent check-ins reduce loneliness and improve patient satisfaction among adult psychiatric inpatients.
