Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information. For example, a nurse who listens actively and without judgment provides clear information about health conditions and treatment options and respects patient decisions, which builds a trusting relationship.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology Nursing
  • Patient Empowerment
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Patients with long-term conditions benefit from shared decision-making and self-management.
  • Nursing roles may shift from traditional caregiving to patient education and empowerment.
  • This shift can create identity conflicts for nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore differences in nurse attitudes and behaviors regarding patient self-care on long-term haemodialysis wards.
  • To compare 'carer' and 'trainer' nursing styles in promoting patient autonomy.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative comparison of nursing styles.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 30 patients and 44 nurses across seven UK haemodialysis units.
  • Thematic analysis of interview data.

Main Results:

  • 'Carer' nurses provide limited information and maintain control over dialysis procedures.
  • 'Trainer' nurses foster broader patient understanding and involve patients in treatment decisions.
  • Trainer nurses encourage suitable patients to self-dialyse.

Conclusions:

  • Patient self-care initiatives can empower individuals, improve recovery, and reduce healthcare costs.
  • A tension exists between nurses' traditional 'carer' identity and their 'trainer' role.
  • To promote self-dialysis, nurses should focus on education, patient-led decision-making, and shared decision-making for treatment.
