Therapeutic Relationship and Conflict

The therapeutic relationship develops between the nurse and the patient as a consequence of daily communication about the patient’s care. The therapeutic relationship is designed to be patient-centered: the nurse helps the patient with medical care and is a source of comfort and stability. Conflict can impede the therapeutic relationship if misunderstandings result in the development of mutual mistrust. A patient and nurse in conflict may be less likely to share important information about the patient’s care. Conflict may cause hurt or angry feelings that can severely limit communication. It is important for the nurse to maintain appropriate lines of communication to ensure that conflict does not impede the therapeutic relationship and the nurse’s role as someone who supports the patient.
