Abstract: | In this study, 10 nurses and 10 patients were interviewed to explore factors influencing nurse-patient interactions in an acute psychiatric inpatient facility. The six themes that emerged from the nursing interviews were; environment, something always comes up, nurses' attributes, patient factors, instrumental support and focus of nursing. The four themes from the patient interviews were; nurses' attributes, role perceptions, clinical care, and time. These findings have implications for clinical practice, the nurses' role and nursing education. |
