title: The nurse's role in anxiety management.
abstract: Nurses need to use a wider range of anxiety management strategies than simply information-giving. Interventions must take into account patients' coping styles and views of their situation. The use of critical incidents to promote reflection on experience offers a practical way to improve anxiety management skills.
