“…A good communication between the DH and the patient was central in order to build a trustful and confident relationship with the patient. Similar findings have been described in several health care studies with focus on communication and interaction between the nurse and patient, as well as between the doctor and the patient (14). It is important that the caregiver shows emotional involvement, a caring relationship and confirms the patient’s feelings.…”

“…The cognitive status of the patient influences the process, so on the one hand demented patients often have an extended latency period and are more often inattentive in a communication (Edberg et al 1995); on the other hand, the communication style of nurses with these patients shows that the use of verbal communication is reduced, only minimal verbal interactions happen during nursing care, and when it occurs primarily orders are given (Jones and van Amelsvoort Jones 1986). Communication often happens during medical tasks (Berg et al 2007). The setting determines the communication process, too, as Tacke (1999) could show in a review of qualitative studies for different communication processes of aphasic patients in acute care and rehabilitation wards.…”

Nurse-patient interaction and communication: A systematic literature review

Aim The purpose of this review is to describe the use and definitions of the concepts of nurse-patient interaction and nurse-patient communication in nursing literature. Furthermore, empirical findings of nurse-patient communication research will be presented, and applied theories will be shown. Method An integrative literature search was executed. The total number of relevant citations found was 97. The search results were reviewed, and key points were extracted in a standardized form. Extracts were then qualitatively summarized according to relevant aspects and categories for the review. Results The relation of interaction and communication is not clearly defined in nursing literature. Often the terms are used interchangeably or synonymously, and a clear theoretical definition is avoided or rather implicit. Symbolic interactionism and classic sender-receiver models were by far the most referred to models. Compared to the use of theories of adjacent sciences, the use of original nursing theories related to communication is rather infrequent. The articles that try to clarify the relation of both concepts see communication as a special or subtype of interaction.The main intention of communication and interaction in the health setting is to influence the patient's health status or state of well-being. Identified important structural factors of communication were: role allocation, different use of language and registers, and the nursing setting. The process of communication is often described with a phase model; communication often happens during other interventions and tasks. In general, influencing factors can be organized into the categories of provider variables, patient variables, environmental and situational variables. Conclusion The included citations all conclude that communication skills can be learned to a certain degree. Involvement of patients and their role in communication often is neglected by authors. Considering the mutual nature of communication, patients' share in conversation should be taken more into consideration than it has been until now. Nursing science has to integrate its own theories of nursing care with theories of communication and interaction from other scientific disciplines like sociology.

“…According to Berg, Skott and Danielson (2007), studying care encounters can provide opportunities to understand the formation of the caring relationship between patients and nurses. Home‐care nursing encounters that co‐create possibilities can be seen as the fruit of good caring relationships and can be assumed to contribute to further development of these relationships.…”

Co‐creating possibilities for patients in palliative care to reach vital goals – a multiple case study of home‐care nursing encounters

et al. 2013

The patient's home is a common setting for palliative care. This means that we need to understand current palliative care philosophy and how its goals can be realized in home-care nursing encounters (HCNEs) between the nurse, patient and patient's relatives. The existing research on this topic describes both a negative and a positive perspective. There has, however, been a reliance on interview and descriptive methods in this context. The aim of this study was to explore planned HCNEs in palliative care. The design was a multiple case study based on observations. The analysis includes a descriptive and an explanation building phase. The results show that planned palliative HCNEs can be described as a process of co-creating possibilities for the patient to reach vital goals through shared knowledge in a warm and caring atmosphere, based on good caring relations. However, in some HCNEs, co-creation did not occur: Wishes and needs were discouraged or made impossible and vital goals were not reached for the patients or their relatives. Further research is needed to understand why. The co-creative process presented in this article can be seen as a concretization of the palliative care ideal of working with a person-centered approach.
