Thank you. I was scared, but I feel reassured now.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold their hand lightly if they consent; maintain eye contact; keep your own body language calm and still — focus entirely on the person's face and emotional state rather than looking at the medical equipment or procedure.
Physical and verbal reassurance during medical procedures significantly reduces anxiety in elderly patients — 'ずっとそばにいます' (I'll be right here the whole time) is a powerful commitment phrase; the caregiver's role is to be a calm, stable presence rather than to explain or manage the medical procedure itself.
