The nurse-patient relationship as caring, professional relationship
One of the primary reasons that nurses embark upon the profession of nursing is their desire to give care to others. However, caring in the sense of 'nursing' is different than the type of caring that a person gives to a friend. Nursing is a specific discipline that dispenses a specific kind of care. There must be preservation of professional barriers when dispensing that care. Yet although a nurse is not a friend, a nurse must also be a good listener and dispense care that shows sensitivity to the individual patient's needs.
Trust is at the heart of showing caring in nursing. "The concept of trust is of particular interest to nursing as it has been identified as an important element in the nurse-patient relationship; however, the concept is loosely used in everyday discourse with confusion apparent and the true meaning of the concept of trust unclear. Patients' trust in the nursing profession cannot...
Trust may be compromised because patients perceive a power imbalance in nursing. The nurse may feel that she knows what is best based upon his or her framework of knowledge, while the patient intuitively feels that he or she knows what is best for his or her health. This intuition may differ from the nurse's perception.
Surveys of nurses show that one of the most significant impediments to creating a relationship of trust and open communication between nurses and patients are nurses' sense that they know best, regardless of patient input. "With the exception of a few, the majority of nurses were unwilling to share their decision-making powers. This created a situation of power imbalance with subsequent little patient input. Factors identified included nurses' beliefs that they 'know best,' the view that patients lacked medical knowledge and the perceived need for nurses to hold onto their power and maintain control" (Henderson 2003).
However, this sense of knowing best can mean that nurses are not able to adequately assess the patient's social and cultural context. While professionalism is a core component of almost every model of nursing, it is not the only component of patient care.…

Nurse-Patient Relations The main focus of this essay is going to concern the nurse-patient relationship idea, and why it is important. This was chosen because the researcher desired to achieve a better accepting of how a helpful nurse-patient relationship can be advanced and even from different theorists who have discovered this idea. In this essay, the researcher sets out to demonstrate what they have learnt regarding the nurse-patient relation concept and
nursing client relationships and how the study is a valid research for practitioners. It has 26 sources in Harvard Style. Research titles must be limited to fifteen words. In this case the author has exceeded the limitation by one count which is negligible. The importance of relevance of the title to the body of the research is that it must collaborate with the core study area. In the first line
Reflection Paper on the Collaborative Nurse-Client Relationship Introduction The collaborative nurse-client relationship (CNCR) is vitally important in achieving high quality of care in the field of nursing. However, as Feo, Rasmussen, Wiechula, Conroy and Kitson (2017) point out, developing these type of therapeutic relationship is not without its challenges. Putting the patient at the center of the care process and working with the patient so that the client takes ownership of his
Nurse Patient Ratios and Quality of Care This study reviews the broad level of issues that surround the nurse/patient ratio: a critical shortage of trained and experienced nurses; increased political and fiscal demands from all sectors of society; rising costs internally and externally combined with a rising number of under-insured; and the conundrum of nursing ethics and the ability to foster excellence in care and patient advocacy.
