    Study Notes

    Psychiatric Nursing: The Nurse-Patient Relationship

    • Psychiatric nursing is built on the nurse-patient relationship, a unique and important human interaction fostering mutual learning.
    • This relationship is central to patient-centered care, recognized as critical for quality and safety in healthcare.
    • Hildegard Peplau's theories (1952, 1991) remain foundational in psychiatric nursing practice.

    Core Concept: Therapeutic Relationship

    • A therapeutic relationship is an interaction between a caregiver and care receiver where both parties contribute to healing, growth, and illness prevention.
    • The relationship is goal-oriented, aiming to foster learning and growth for positive change in the patient's life.

    Role of the Psychiatric Nurse

    • Nursing's historical role has evolved from custodial care to a specialized, independent professional role on the healthcare team.
    • Peplau (1991) identified key roles for nurses in the therapeutic relationship:
      • Stranger: Initially non-personal, accepting the patient as is.
      • Resource person: Provides health-related information in understandable language.
      • Teacher: Identifies learning needs and provides necessary health information.
      • Leader: Fosters patient participation in care planning.
      • Surrogate: Serves as a substitute for significant figures in the patient's life (e.g., mother).
      • Technical expert: Utilizes professional knowledge and skills to manage patient care.
      • Counselor: Uses interpersonal techniques for patients to process life changes. (Peplau emphasized this role in psychiatric nursing.)

    Dynamics of a Therapeutic Nurse–Patient Relationship

    • Travelbee (1971) emphasized a human-to-human relationship, where both nurse and patient recognize each other as unique individuals.
    • For patient care, respect, trust, genuineness, and empathy are imperative.
      • Trust: Earning trust is crucial; proven through warmth, caring, honesty.
      • Respect: Unconditional positive regard, accepting the patient regardless of behavior.
      • Genuineness: Being open and honest with the patient while maintaining the nurse-patient dynamic.
      • Empathy: Understanding the patient's perspective, without losing objectivity.

    Therapeutic Use of Self

    • Therapeutic use of self: The nurse's conscious, aware personality use to build rapport and structure interventions.
    • Self-awareness, developed through values clarification, is essential.

    Values Clarification & Self-Awareness

    • It is essential to understand oneself and personal values to effectively interact.
    • Values come from early experiences, culture and change over time.
    • Values clarification helps gain self-awareness (a 7-step process discussed).
    • Values clarification involves examining beliefs, attitudes, and values.
      • Beliefs: Rational, irrational, faith-based, and stereotyped.
      • Attitudes: Frameworks for organizing knowledge, often emotional.
      • Values: Action-oriented, influencing attitudes and beliefs.

    The Johari Window

    • The Johari Window is a tool for self-awareness, showing open, hidden, unknown, and blind parts of oneself.
    • Self-awareness is a key factor in positive interactions with patients.

    Conditions Essential to a Therapeutic Relationship

    • Rapport: Building a sense of harmony and understanding.
    • The key factors of trust, respect, genuineness and empathy.
      • Nurses display warmth, care, honesty, and consistency.
      • Nurses listen, respecting patient's concerns and thoughts.
    • Professional boundaries help maintain the nurse-patient relationship.
      • Important issues: Self-disclosure, gift-giving, touch, and relationship with patients.

    Phases of a Therapeutic Relationship

    • The therapeutic relationship progresses through phases: preinteraction, orientation, working, and termination.
    • Each phase involves specific goals and tasks.

    Transference and Countertransference

    • Transference: Patients unconsciously transferring past feelings to the nurse.
    • Nurse must recognize unconscious influences and help the patient understand their transfer of feelings onto the nurse.
    • Countertransference: Nurses unconsciously transferring past feelings onto patient.
      • Nurse must self-reflect on possible influences to avoid affecting the outcome negatively.

    Boundaries in the Nurse-Patient Relationship

    • Nurses must maintain professional boundaries to care for patients and support well-being.
    • Examples of concerns about professional boundaries include self-disclosure, gift-giving, touching, forming friendships, and confidentiality.

    Summary

    • Psychiatric nursing relies on the therapeutic relationship.
    • Key elements include self-awareness, values, and empathy.
    • Professional boundaries provide a framework for the relationship to support positive patient outcomes.
