Subjectivity and culpability in the constitution of nurse-patient relationships
The development and implementation of new modes of organizing nursing work, such as primary nursing, stress the quality of interpersonal relationships between nurses and their patients. It is important to recognize, however, that such relationships are inherently problematic. This paper explores, from a sociological perspective, nurses' orientations to interpersonal relations with patients and examines some of the sources of their problematic features.

Abstract

The development and implementation of new modes of organizing nursing work, such as primary nursing, stress the quality of interpersonal relationships between nurses and their patients. It is important to recognize, however, that such relationships are inherently problematic. This paper explores, from a sociological perspective, nurses' orientations to interpersonal relations with patients and examines some of the sources of their problematic features.
