The purpose of this study was to explore and interpret the meaning of relatives' experiences of encounters with nurses when visiting residents in nursing homes. Thirteen relatives of residents in three nursing homes in Sweden were interviewed. The interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The method used was hermeneutical text analysis. Four themes emerged in the analysis and interpretation of the whole text: 'being paid attention to', 'being ignored', 'being involved' and 'being safe and secure'. A further interpretation of the findings shows a deeper understanding of the meaning of relatives. This meaning was revealed as being invited into an encounter with nurses and gave a sense of community but the opposite was being ignored and left outside. This study gives a deeper understanding of the meaning of encounters between relatives and nurses in nursing homes; it also illuminates how these encounters also can affect the care of the residents. This new understanding can hopefully offer support for nurses during their encounters with relatives and optimise the ability to provide a positive outcome for residents in nursing homes.
本研究旨在探讨和阐释亲属在养老院探访居民时与护士相遇的体验意义。我们对瑞典三家养老院的 13 名居民亲属进行了访谈。访谈进行了录音，并逐字转录。所用方法是阐释性文本分析。对整篇文章进行分析和解释后出现了四个主题：“被关注”、“被忽视”、“被参与”和“安全有保障”。对调查结果的进一步解释揭示了亲属意义的更深层次理解。这种意义表现为被邀请与护士相遇并产生社区感，但相反的情况是被忽视和被排斥在外。这项研究更深入地了解了养老院中亲属与护士相遇的意义；它还阐明了这些相遇如何影响居民的护理。这种新的理解有望为护士在与亲属相遇时提供支持，并优化为养老院居民提供积极结果的能力。
