AbstractDuring a typical work day, nurses encounter situations of grief, death, and crisis that increase vulnerability to crying. Because of the social and cultural bias against crying, nurses may try to control crying and may feel uncomfortable and embarrassed if unable to do so. Nursing has moved toward a more people-oriented approach, and there is more openness toward expressing feelings. However, nurses are still expected to remain in control of their emotions. Crying may have a profound therapeutic effect in helping persons deal with overwhelming emotions. In selective situations, showing genuine emotion can be a meaningful way to provide emotional support.
