Currently, nursing care is approached from the perspective of the patient and the nurse where the perceptions are analyzed in the context of the nurse-patient interaction relationship in the cardiology ward of Hospital Santo Tomas.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between the perception of the nurse and that of the patient, within the framework of the Nurse-Patient Care Interaction system, in the cardiology ward of Hospital Santo Tomás.
Methodology: This is a correlational investigation with a sample of 131 patients and 7 nurses who worked in the ward under study. For data collection, a short version of the instrument, “Caring Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale” (CNPI-23) for nurses and patients, was used and translated into Spanish for the current study. Using Cronbach´s Alpha Coefficient, the instrument obtained a reliability of 0.94 for the patient version and 0.97 for the nursing version.
Results: For the dimensions of care obtained, according to the usual criteria, there was a weak positive correlation for the dimension of clinical care: nurses 38.2% - patients 40%; an inverse correlation for the care relationship dimension: nurses 33.2% - patients 28.3%; a correlation for the dimension of humanized care: nurses 37.4% - patients 30.5%; and a considerable positive correlation for the comfort care dimension: nurses 42.3% - patients 42.7%
Conclusions: It is determined that the global relationship of the dimensions between the perception of the nurse and that of the patient, in the framework of the nurse-patient care interaction system, is independent from each other since the perceptions that are formed about the environment and interaction with people around us are individual, concerns the individual judgment.
