UNASSIGNED: Nurse-patient relationships are an integral component of person-centred palliative care. Greater understanding of how nurse-patient relationships are fostered and perceived by patients and nurses can be used to inform nursing practice.
UNASSIGNED: To systematically identify and synthesise how nurse-patient relationships are fostered in specialist inpatient palliative care settings, and how nurse-patient relationships were perceived by patients and nurses.
UNASSIGNED: Integrative review with narrative synthesis. The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022336148, updated April, 2023).
UNASSIGNED: Five electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL Complete, Medline, Web of Science and PsycINFO) were searched for articles published from their inception to December 2023. Studies were included if they (i) examined nurse and/or patient perspectives and experiences of nurse-patient relationships in specialist inpatient palliative care, (ii) were published in English in a (iii) peer-reviewed journal. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to evaluate study quality. Data were synthesised using narrative synthesis.
UNASSIGNED: Thirty-four papers from 31 studies were included in this review. Studies were mostly qualitative and were of high methodological quality. Four themes were identified: (a) creating connections; (b) fostering meaningful patient engagement; (c) negotiating choices and (d) building trust.
UNASSIGNED: Nurses and patients are invested in the nurse-patient relationship, benefitting when it is positive, therapeutic and both parties are valued partners in the care. Key elements of fostering the nurse-patient relationship in palliative care were revealed, however, the dominance of the nurses\' perspectives signifies that the nature and impact of these relationships may not be well understood.

UNASSIGNED: Patient-centered care (PCC), a term coined decades ago, is a key but challenging focus of nursing practice. The history, development, and current dialogue about PCC along with biblical perspectives on caregiving, wisdom, and discernment help nurses who follow Christ to offer compassionate PCC. Strategies are proposed for meaningfully engaging patients and families as active participants in healthcare. The Christian nurse can best provide consistent, effective PCC by remaining Christ-centered.

UNASSIGNED: With resources stretched thin and the growing risk of compassion fatigue, faith beliefs can offer enriching perspectives for nurses. Covenantal care is a nursing approach rooted in theological insights about humanity\'s inherent purpose to engage in relationship with God and actively participate in acts of love and justice. Based upon interpretations of Judeo-Christian teachings of imago Dei and God\'s covenant with humankind, this approach provides guidance for the nurse to care for self, patients, and the wider community. This exploration of theology-in-practice provides an orientating ethos for nurses that reflects the loving, restorative, and dignified care that is at the heart of the Christian faith.

UNASSIGNED: Communication is an essential aspect of care for all patients but is especially important for individuals with Alzheimer\'s disease or other forms of dementia. Nurses who care for persons living with dementia (PwD), as well as family members and caregivers, need understanding of verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and approaches that are effective throughout the stages of dementia. Spiritual assessment and care also are critical. This article provides evidence-based and biblical examples for communication as a healing art in caring for PwD.

It also helped them to get to know themselves better on a personal level, to be more attuned to their emotions and aware of their limits. Here\'s a testimonial.
