Being Known Qualitative Study
Past research focused on physician-patient communication related to delivering diagnoses, developing treatment plans, and discussing patients’ experiences with cancer. Less attention was devoted to better understanding the nurse-patient relationship and how it might relate to the patient’s experience of “being known” in healthcare. A better understanding of the patient’s perspective of “being known” provided information on the added relevance of nurse-patient and nurse-nurse communication in cancer care settings. The overall goal of this study was to provide an in-depth exploration of cancer patients' experience of “being known” in an ambulatory cancer care setting where nursing rounds had been implemented.
