“Nurses experienced a relationship with patients with delirium that was influenced by a lack of knowledge
about communication with such patients. This resulted in a lack of person-centred care and knowledge about
the patient's habitual condition and life story; hence, nurses did not discover the patient's initial delirium.
Inadequate and unstructured documentation did the nursing effort initiated late so the patient's delirium was
developing. Uncertainty caused lack of dialogue between nurses, which afflicted the partnership and relation
between the patient and the nurse. A fast pace workload affected relationships, knowledge, documentation and
collaboration. Thus, the person-centred approach to the patient was challenged, which made the provision of
professional nursing care difficult.”
