It's a mnemonic reminding you to try to always respond to the patient's emotions because it must be a patient-centered interview.
" PEARLS" ( Partnership, Empathy, Apology, Respect, Legitimization, and Support )
Partnership : work together with ur patient to identify the main concerns ( let's deal with this together, ...or we can do this...use these type of sentence )
Empathy: acknowledge and show understanding of the patient's feelings (that sounds hard,...you look upset...)
Apology: take personal responsibility when it is appropriate to do so ( I'm sorry I was late,...or even I'm sorry this happened to you)
Respect: value the patient's choices, behaviors, and decisions ( you have obviously worked hard on this...)
Legitimization : validates and shows understanding for the patient's feelings and choices ( Anyone would be confused or sad or upset by this situation )
Support: should be continually offered to the patient ( I'll be here when you need me...)

More or less what they said about it...
