Relational practice
Relational practice observed to be a respectful and reflexive approach to touch upon patients lives experiences and health care desires. Its the skillful action of respectful, compassionate, and genuinely interested inquiry. Totally different from the mechanistic models of human relating, that concentrate on activity communication skills, Hartrick suggests five relational capacities. Theyre initiative, credibleness, and responsiveness; mutuality and synchrony; conformity complexness and ambiguity; deliberateness in relating; and re-imagining. It implies that, so as to observe relationally, nurses have to be compelled to involve the active concern for patients; be able to share and acknowledge the differences; trust patients and perceive uncertainty; be able to question and go out of the taken-for-granted values and assumptions shaping their practice; and be able to facilitate patients rework their health experiences and evolve their relative capability. The construct of relative observe is said to nursing education. Teaching and learning in nursing education typically concentrate on mechanical skills and technical interventions.
