Nurses spend the majority of their time and contact with patients in the hospital. Apparently, they are the ones who provide care, organize nursing care plans, solve existing problems, provide health education to patients, and most importantly, they are the agents of connectivity between the healthcare team (DeSilets, Lynore., & Dickerson, 2011). . The foundation of a quality nurse-patient relationship is said to be essential in most situations as it helps to have effective communication between the healthcare team and the patient, thus helping to improve the client's condition and well-being. (Sheldon, 2009) Furthermore, using nursing knowledge, skills, quality of care and professional conduct, the nurse can establish and maintain a therapeutic relationship, which is rooted in the caring attributes of a nurse. In this essay, I would like to discuss how therapeutic relationships influence nurse, patient, and client health outcomes. Additionally, I will discuss the caring qualities demonstrated by nurses. The therapeutic relationship is considered one of the most relevant elements in facilitating the resolution of the patient's existing problems. This type of relationship focuses on the client's healthcare needs. (Walsh, 2011). Furthermore, it is a planned, goal-directed, and contractual connection between the patient and the nurse. (Mottram, 2011). A trusting relationship is based on trust, respect, sensitivity to the needs of others, providing satisfaction in service using the nurse's knowledge and skills. This caring relationship is strengthened when there is harmony and healing between the nurse and the patient. Nurses take care of vulnerable patients who are dependent and sick and that is why patie...... middle of paper...... for the nurse, the patient and helps provide good health outcomes to the patient. Without a relationship of trust, no intervention is likely to be effective since the patient's collaboration is extremely necessary in drawing up a nursing care plan. Additionally, this type of relationship helps the healthcare team collaborate effectively with each other, making it easier for them to work as a team and achieve positive health outcomes. Being a nurse is hard. However, it is a very rewarding and fulfilling career. It is not simply a life-saving profession or job, but it means having the responsibility and commitment to serve others. What truly makes a good nurse is giving their patients priority and having the caring qualities necessary to overcome all the difficult situations they may encounter in their daily experience with their patients..
