Resumo(s)
Background The relationship between the nurse and the patient with mental health disorder is crucial to the
recovery process. Thus, patients with mental health disorders should be active subjects in this relationship by having
autonomy and self-determination.
Methods This study aimed to explore the perspectives of adult patients with mental health disorders on the
relationship with nurses. A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study was conducted in March 2023, using focus
group meetings in an association to support patients with severe mental health disorders in the Northern region
of Portugal. The study followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ). A total of 8
patients participated in the study. Two focus group meetings were conducted. The inductive method was used, and
content analysis of the transcripts was performed. The QDA Miner Lite 4.0 and Microsoft Excel were used for content
analysis.
Results Participants considered the relationship with nurses important for their recovery and expected nurses
to provide support and help, being able to identify their needs, thus personalising their care. Attitudinal and
communication aspects were also considered crucial for establishing a solid, trusting, and meaningful relationship.
Conclusion According to the findings nursing care is expected to focus on the patient, his/her preferences,
expectations, and the uniqueness of each individual. The results of this study may be useful for the reflection and
improvement of nurses in their relational and communication skills and the driving force for nursing students’
awareness of the perspective of the relationship with patients with mental health disorder and its relevance.
