Title Patients' experiences of interpersonal relationships during first time acute hospitalisation Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 24 Issue 2 (Jul) Pages p16-26.
Keywords Acute hospitalisation; Vulnerability; Support; Nurse-patient relationships
Abstract Examines the role of interpersonal relationships on patients' experiences during first time acute hospitalisation. Involving 12 first time acute medical and surgical admission patients, it was developed from a wider study exploring patients' overall experiences. Using a qualitative methodology with data collected by means of personal stories and semi-structured interviews findings suggest that patient vulnerability is reduced through supportive interpersonal relationships and that it is nurses who play a key role in developing and maintaining these relationships with patients.
