Sammanfattning
The focus of this study is nurses
working in acute psychiatric hospital
settings. A core question is
what knowledge they utilise in clinical
practice in the interaction
with psychotic patients. As these
patients often have a fundamental
distrust in other people, and this
often makes it hard for them to
initiate interpersonal relationships.
Studies by Mellow, Peplau,
Lindstrøm and Hummelvoll constitute
the theoretical basis for
this study.
These authors explain the working
relationship between nurses
and the psychotic persons as
something that develops in three
or four phases.
In this investigative study nine
nurses were interviewed. Qualitative
research interviews are used
to obtain the empirical data. The
analysis is based on Kvales` three
levels of research: self-understanding,
critical common sense and
theoretical understanding.
The findings show that nurses do
initiate therapeutic interactional
processes between themselves
and the psychotic persons.
Through this process the nurses
seek to discern the individual
behind the diagnosis, and to create
a trusting and reciprocal
interpersonal relationship in their
association with the psychotic
persons.
