  Patient-centered communication is a basic component of nursing which facilitates the

development of a positive nurse-patient relationship and along with other organizational 

 factors, results in the delivery of quality nursing care. (J Clin Nurs. (2004) Nurse-patient

communication: an exploration of patients' experiences Trinity Centre for Health Sciences, St James's Hospital, Dublin,Ireland http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14687292) 

  Nurses spend the most time and have most contact with patients, doing ‘connecting

work’ that complements doctors’ consultations. Nurses provide the ‘glue’ – escorting a

 patient into the consulting room; identifying with challenges in adhering to lifestyle

changes by reporting their own experience; allowing patients to disclose concerns not 

shared with doctors; being chatty; sharing a joke; and providing explanations where

doctors’ communication has failed. (Collins, S (2009) Good Communication Helps build a Therapeutic Relationship, Department of Health Sciences and

• The patient-healthcare professional relationship as perceived by the patient is

considered important. It is the interaction that is toward enhancing the client's well-

being, and the client may be an individual, a family, a group or a community. The patient 

will experience better health when all their needs are fully considered in the relationship.

Psychiatrist As Perceived by Schizophrenic Patients, Our Lady of Fatima Univertisy, Antipolo, Philippines)

  The patient’s sense of well -being, more importantly for the terminally ill, is nestled in the

interaction between nurse and patient. The nurse and patient form a dyad as they 

interact. (Tejero, LM (2012) Nurse-Patient Dyads: Linking Nurse & Patient Characteristics to Outcome, University of 

the Philippines, College of Nursing) 

  The nurse and patient are self-determining and  at the same time communicating

individuals who can direct their interactions towards bonding or dissonance. This is

consistent with symbolic interactionism which views interaction between persons not in

a stimulus-response framework but as a meaningful and purposive interchange. (Tejero, LM

(2012) Nurse-Patient Dyads: Linking Nurse & Patient Characteristics to Outcome, University of the Philippines, College

of Nursing)
