Health Care Relationships Revisited
Carole A. Robinson, R.N., Ph.D.
University of British Columbia
It is time to revisit our beliefs about health care relationships. Although these relationships have long been recognized as influential to illness experience and patient satisfaction with care, they have been construed as background to the more important work of intervening to elicit change. However, according to five families who participated in a grounded theory study designed to explore the process and outcomes of nursing care, health care relationships are pivotal to change. The nurse's relational stance of curous listener, compassionate stranger nonjudgmental collaborator, and mirror for family strengths is a significant intervention that invites healing.
