To provide evidence-based recommendations for improving the nursing work environment.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review of communication and relationship-building interventions in nursing.
Qualitative analysis of nurse-reported challenges and needs.
Development and preliminary testing of a proposed toolkit.

Main Results:

Key communication barriers identified include hierarchical structures and time pressures.
Interpersonal relationship skills training showed significant positive impact.
A multi-component toolkit focusing on active listening and conflict resolution was developed.

Conclusions:

Targeted tools and training are essential for fostering positive nurse-nurse relationships.
Improving communication strategies can mitigate the effects of workplace stress on nurses.
Further research is needed to validate the long-term effectiveness of the proposed toolkit.
