    Study Notes

    Relational Inquiry (RI)

    • RI is a highly reasoned and skilled action that involves a relational orientation, thorough knowledge base, curiosity, and clinical skills.
    • It is a way of thinking and focusing attention on the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and contextual levels of a healthcare situation.

    Components of Relational Inquiry

    Relational Orientation

    • Focuses on considering the unseen and/or ignored elements shaping what is transpiring in a healthcare situation.
    • Looks beyond the surface of people and situations to understand the complexities of relational realities.

    Inquiring Action

    • Involves asking questions not only of others but also of oneself.
    • Seeks to understand the situation, including the context, and determine what else may be needed to move forward.

    Relational Inquiry and Well-being

    Patient/Family Well-being

    • A socio-environmental approach to health care understands health as more than just the absence of disease.
    • Emphasizes the importance of contextual factors in shaping health and well-being.
    • Focuses on enhancing people's capacity and power to live meaningful lives.

    Nurse Well-being

    • Nurses' well-being requires a socio-environmental approach to mitigate the detrimental effects of working in healthcare settings.
    • Emotional distress can build over time when nurses are unable to provide the kind of care they were educated to provide.

    System Well-being

    • The healthcare system's well-being is often oriented to a business model, emphasizing efficiency and profit over other considerations.
    • Challenges such as increasing acuity, health human resource challenges, and burnout affect the well-being of the healthcare system.

    Knowledge and Relational Inquiry

    • A pragmatic approach to knowledge enlists all forms of knowledge and focuses on its value in achieving desired consequences.
    • RI recognizes the limitations and fallibility of knowledge and prioritizes continual examination and questioning.

    Focus and Attention

    • Intentionally focusing attention is a powerful strategy in nursing work.

    • Attention is dynamic, and RI involves directing attention to consider the complexities of relational realities.### Reflecting on Practice Situations

    • Reflecting on a situation that "bugged" you can help you identify the focus of attention, guiding concerns, and actions taken.

    • Consider how efficiency, urgency, or emotion drove the situation.

    • Reflection can suggest alternative actions that could have been taken.

    Relational Inquiry (RI) Toolbox

    • To become an intentional, competent nurse, combine intellectual understanding with embodied, emotional experience.
    • Draw upon knowledge from theory, personal experience, and nursing practice.
    • Enact and create knowledge in all aspects of life.
    • Relationally respond to others, driven by curiosity and a desire to become a nurse.

    The 5 Ws of Relating

    • Identify what you are relating to and focusing attention on.
    • Determine what you value and ignore.
    • Recognize who you are relating to and whose voice you are hearing.
    • Understand why you are relating and what goals are driving you.
    • Consider how time and timing shape your relating practice.

    The 5 Cs: Relational Capacities Central to RI

    • Compassion: sharing suffering and being with others.
    • Curiosity: being interested and open to uncertainty.
    • Commitment: actively identifying and staying true to values and concerns.
    • Competence: person and context-dependent knowledge and skills.
    • Correspondence: relating to people in a meaningful way.

    Homework: Watching the Relational Interplay

    • Notice appearances, behaviors, and interactions.
    • Identify what captures your attention and sparks curiosity.
    • Analyze people, contexts, and situations shaping each other.
    • Reflect on your own feelings, thoughts, and biases.
    • Consider how physical settings influence interactions.
