Introduction: Recognition the nurses’ communicative roles can influence quality of patient’s care. Therefore, this study was aimed to explore nurse’s role in nurse-patient relations. Methods: This study was a qualitative research in which collected data was analyzed by content analysis method. The participants were 23 nurses, patients and their families in medical and surgical wards of a referral hospital in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected by semi-structured interview and observation. Results: Data analysis was led to the emergence of a main conceptual category: The patient's need-based communication. This category was derived from two categories: 1) Identifying the patient’s needs; and 2) Communicative behavior in the face of the patient’s needs. "Identifying the patient’s needs" was related to "type of the patient’s problem", "patients’ inquiring about their health status" and "monitoring the patient’s health status". "Communicative behavior in the face of the patient’s needs" was composed of four subcategories: "caring attention", "informal education of the patient", "inducing calmness to the patient", and "obtaining the trust of the patient". Conclusion: The nurse’s role in relationship with patients is designed according to patients’ needs. Therefore, if the patients’ needs in clinical settings are defined and clarified appropriately, the nurse-patient relations will be enhanced and thereby the quality of care will be improved.

“…Many symptoms limiting the daily activities of the patient may be experienced, either simultaneously or separately, while undergoing radiotherapy. It is important for the individual to be able to deal effectively with any symptom that may arise, and patients who are unable to cope with symptoms effectively tend to lose self‐esteem, become unable to fulfil their role functions, experience a deterioration in quality of life and find it difficult to continue treatment (Akkas et al., ; Babin et al., ; De Leeuw et al., ; Mason, DeRubeis, Foster, Taylor, & Worden, ). Studies of head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing radiotherapy have focused mainly on determining the quality of life, functional health status and level of social support, while those aimed at identifying the symptoms of head neck cancers have been conducted with heterogeneous groups (receiving RT‐CT) (Ertem et al., ; Haisfield et al., ; Öztürk, ; Sadırlı & Ünsar, ).…”

Radiotherapy is a reliable and effective treatment method for the treatment of head and neck cancers. This study was conducted as a descriptive work with the purpose of determining the symptoms experienced by patients with head and neck cancer who are undergoing radiotherapy. The study was carried out on 47 patients receiving treatment in oncology clinics. Data were obtained at mid-radiotherapy (RT), at the end of radiotherapy and 1 month after the end of radiotherapy using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS) and Personal Information Forms. The mean scores of MSAS GDI (Global Distress Index), MSAS Physical, MSAS Psychological and Total Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale, which were highest by the end of radiotherapy, declined during the 1-month period following the end of radiotherapy. A statistically significant difference (p < .05) was found between the subscale groups in the evaluations made at mid-RT, at the end of RT and 1 month after the end of RT. Patients generally experienced symptom frequency, severity and distress levels at highest rates at the end of RT. During the radiotherapy process, determining these symptoms will contribute to improve the well-being of the patient. These results may be useful to control symptoms effectively.

“…"Insider" knowledge is known to assist recruitment by encouraging rapport and collaboration with participants (Blythe et al, 2013). While other nursing settings and international primary care nursing literature indicates acceptability of the video technique (De Leeuw et al, 2014, Griep et al, 2016, Happ et al, 2011, Lenzen et al, 2018, Noordman et al, 2013, Spelten et al, 2015 our target population were much more challenging to recruit. This may, however, reflect the small business nature of Australian primary care and the subsequent complexity in accessing potential participants.…”

Strategies for using non-participatory video research methods in general practice

et al. 2019

Background Non-participatory video research is useful for observing and analysing interactions between clinicians, patients and technology. However, few clinical nursing studies have used non-participatory video observation and there is limited literature describing the approach. Aim To describe a study that used nonparticipatory video observation in general practice. Discussion The authors' experience of non-participatory video research methods indicates that the acceptability of the technique, workplace organisation and consultation space have implications for preparation and data collection. Strategies for success include engaging stakeholders early on, obtaining contextual knowledge and piloting the approach. Conclusion Nonparticipatory video observation is valuable in understanding interactions between nurses and patients in a naturalistic setting. Careful planning is essential to ensure alignment between research aims, context and technology. The methods for analysing data must be chosen carefully to ensure the research question is answered. Implications for practice Video observation provides rich data. Careful planning and engagement of participants is required for successful conduct of studies that use the technique. Abstract Background. Non-participatory video research is useful for observing and analysing interactions between clinicians, patients and technology. Few studies have used nonparticipatory video observation in clinical nursing research and there is limited literature describing the approach. Aim. To describe an experience of using non-participatory video observation in general practice nursing research. Discussion. Our experience of non-participatory video research methods indicates that acceptability of the technique, workplace organisation and consultation space have implications for preparation and data collection. Strategies for success include early stakeholder engagement, contextual knowledge, and piloting the approach. Conclusion. Non-participatory video observation is valuable for understanding interactions between nurses and patients in a naturalistic setting. Careful planning is essential to ensure alignment between research aims, context and technology selected. The choice of data analysis methods requires careful consideration to ensure that the research question is answered. Implications for practice. Video observation research provides rich data. Careful planning and engagement of participants is required for successful conduct of such studies.
