According to Molina-Mula and Gallo-Estrada (2020), nursing records were collected throughout
the year 2019 and interviews were conducted from March to December 2019, Staff nurses with
an age of 28-54 years. A certain differences are observed in nursing discourses according to
their age and professional experience. Although in both groups the relationship with the patient
is based on trust, in staff nurses with a younger age and less experience, this trust is given
when the patient values and respects the work of the nurse. In the older and more experienced
staff nurses, the interpersonal relationship with the patient is prioritized to generate this trust.

According to Appiah et al., (2023), this study highlighted the importance of avoiding false hopes
and the influence of positive reassurance on relationships between nurses and patients. The
majority (80%) of the participants fell within the age group of 21 years to 30 years, followed by
the age range 31 years to 35 years. This result is congruent with that of another study, which
revealed that nurses reassured patients by using language, gestures, education, and
relationship-building. Since providing false reassurance goes against the principle of veracity
and could cause mistrust, conflicts, and treatment non-adherence, reassurance should be used
with tact. In order to reassure patients, staff nurses should be careful with their language and
provide them information regarding their disease and the treatment being given for them. This
will boost patients' cooperation and commitment to therapy, retain trust, and offer them a sense
of optimism. When caring for patients in critical conditions, staff nurses should maintain a calm
demeanor because it fosters a sense of hope and eases patients and their family members.

not sure study.


In 2020, there were 201 nurses enrolled in total. The level of nurses' adherence to
recommended standard precautions was inadequate. Between the pre- and during
COVID assessments, a statistically significant increase in the compliance rate with
standard precautions was seen. The proper usage of surgical masks, gloves, and
sharps disposal all showed high compliance. Nurses’ compliance with standard
precautions was not 100%, and different factors impeded nurses to work safely.
