Q1 (c) Interpersonal boundaries in clinical nursing education: An exploratory Canadian qualitative study(Qualitative research).
This study was conducted to explore the relationship between clinical nursing instructors and their students. Most of the qualitative research on this relationship has been focusing on the students only. The assumption that the students are supposed to gain from a teacher-student relationship led to this research. The period that instructors spend time together with their student is usually educative to the student. However, the instructors also gain in the association. In this case, the benefits of the instructor are analyzed qualitatively.
In this research, in-depth unstructured interviews were conducted. The sample size was only eight nursing instructors from

They included; “the fluidity of boundaries”, “personal sharing”, “time dependent”, and “the touchy topic of touch”. There was a unison agreement on the need for rigid boundaries to prevent violations of the boundaries. The instructors however emphasized the need for fluid and flexible interpersonal boundaries with students.
The findings identified the nature of nursing education as the reason to encourage instructors to form useful relationships with their students. Also, nursing instructors may benefit from the interaction with their student. Therefore, they should be flexible enough to allow such associations.
Students usually consider their clinical instructors as the most influential people as far as their career are concerned. On the other hand, sharing extended time with student give instructors a rewarding experience. This is attributed by the small size of clinical groups.

Incivility is not a new topic in the nursing community. The saying that, “nurses eat their young” has been around for decades. The manifestation of this phrase includes bullying, lateral and horizontal abuse, incivility, harassment, and disruptive behaviors (Sauer, 2012). Dealing with these behaviors can make or break a new nurse. This paper will explore the issue of incivility, importance to nursing, storytelling, creating a healthful environment, and practice application.
Professional boundaries refer to the limits that guard against patient’s vulnerable state and the professional conduct displayed by the health care provider. It is essential for the health care provider to maintain a balance as this would ensure that any act is done for the betterment and in the best interest of the patients. Boundaries in a patient setting refers to mutually unspoken and spoken words, gestures, emotional and physical acts between a trusting patient and his health care provider. According to Avis et al (1983), limits, lines, or borders are included in the term of boundary.
Quantitative Research Critique on article, Trust in nurse- patient relationships: A literature review by Leyla Dinc and Chris Gastmans
Nursing surrounds the concept of patient care physically, mentally and ethically. The therapeutic relationship that is created is built on the knowledge and skills of the nurse and relies on patient and nurse trusting one another. The use of nursing skills can ensure these boundaries are maintained, it allows for safe patient care. Professional boundaries are the line that nurses cannot cross, involving aspects such as patient confidentiality and privacy, ensuring legal aspects of nursing and the boundaries put in place are not breached. However, nurses accepting financial or personal gain from patient can also cross these professional boundaries. It is only through education in this area that the rights of patients can be preserved, as well as the nursing standards. Through education in areas such as confidentiality, boundaries can remain in tact and the patient care can remain within the zone of helpfulness.
Therapeutic relationships are an essential part of nursing; they are the foundation of nursing (CNO, 2009). The National Competency Standard for Registered Nurses states that nurses are responsible for “establishing, sustaining and concluding professional relationships with individuals/groups.” Throughout this essay, the importance of forming therapeutic relationships will be explained. The process of building a therapeutic relationship begins prior to time of contact with a patient, the interpersonal skills of the nurse; then the process includes skills required by the nurse to communicate effectively, including respect, trust, non-judgment and empathy. The way to portray these skills can be via verbal or non-verbal cues that are important to understand how they influence a person.
A therapeutic nurse-patient relationship is outlined as a helping relationship grounded on shared respect, trust, the encouragement of having faith and hope in oneself and others, and emotional support (Pullen et al., 2010). In doing so, the nurse can establish complete satisfaction of the patients needs, whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual. This relationship produces when the patient and the nurse come together in harmony and peace (Pullen et al., 2010). Efficient verbal and nonverbal communication is an essential aspect of interaction between nurse and patient – in doing this, the patient feels on par with the nurse, as an equal, rather than having no indication of what procedures are taking place (Pullen et al., 2010).
Nurses today need to have excellent communication skills. Receiving information from patients is the most important aspect of nursing. If nurses are unable to communicate with their patient then they would not be able to have a relationship with them. Communication is where two or more people interact with each other, by using sounds and words, this is verbal communication. Some individuals have different behaviors where they try to express themselves to others without using spoken words, this is non verbal communication. Once nurses have the proper communication tools, techniques and evidence based practice, when communicating with their patient, they would get the necessary information needed from the patient to properly diagnosis them.

Literature Critique This literature critique reviews Catherine McCabe’s article, Nurse-patient communication: an exploration of patients’ experiences (McCabe, 2002). She has obtained many degrees related to health care (Registered General Nurse, Bachelor of Nursing Science, Registered Nurse Teacher, and Master Level Nursing). She has many years of experience and is currently teaching at Trinity Center for Health Sciences. As stated in the title, this study will review the patient’s interactions with nurses in relation to their communication. This study used a qualitative approach, as stated within the article, by viewing the life experiences of the participants.
The role of the nurse is predominantly perceived as a female profession, however more men are pursuing a career as a nurse. In the nursing profession men are being subjected to discrimination and bias due to the typecasting of the nurse as a feminine occupation. Consequently, male nurses are presumed as homosexual and exposed to homophobic attitudes (Mohamed, Mohamed, 2015). Also, there is a perception men only become nurses due to their failure at pursuing a career as a medical practitioner. The scope of nursing necessitates a caring and compassionate attributes, characteristics only seen in the female disposition, this misconception suggests men lack these

Many persons go into the healthcare ground because they want to work with people. For these nurses, it is the nurse-patient relationship that is one of the most significant things. By understanding the nurse-patient relationship, nurses can be better furnished to work with their patients and, eventually, deliver superior care for them. Hildegard Peplau's model of nursing emphases on that nurse-patient relationship and recognizes the diverse roles nurses take on when working with patients.
