This qualitative study's objective was to examine the nurse/patient relationship in the present acute healthcare delivery system in 3 countries: the United States, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The hypothesis was that both nurse and patient were vulnerable and in need of a fundamental considerateness. The subjects were 9 female and 1 male white nurses who had a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent and less than 5 years' practice experience. Critical social theory was the method utilized, which permitted the researcher to examine the underlying power structure, its barriers, silences, and how the nurses were coping. The themes were "being normal," "little things," the hardness of nursing, practice organization, malcontent, and power and control. The conclusion is that nurses are passionate about their work, they are proud of what they do, and they try to maintain the highest standard of care, but they are tired. All have a silent cry for considerateness.
这项定性研究的目的是考察美国、新西兰和英国这三个国家当前急性医疗服务体系中的护患关系。研究假设是护士和患者都很脆弱，都需要基本的体谅。研究对象是9名女性和1名男性白人护士，他们拥有学士学位或同等学历，且执业经验少于5年。研究采用了批判社会理论方法，这使研究者能够审视潜在的权力结构、其障碍、沉默之处，以及护士是如何应对的。研究主题包括“保持常态”“小事”“护理工作的艰辛”“实践组织”“不满”以及“权力与控制”。研究结论是，护士对工作充满热情，为自己的工作感到自豪，努力维持最高的护理标准，但他们很疲惫。所有人都在无声地呼吁体谅。
