“…We chose to use the method "Relational Caring Inquiry (RCI)" developed by Cara [29] and also utilized in particular by Cara, O'Reilly and Brousseau, [30] O'Reilly [31] and Delmas, O'Reilly, Iglesias, Cara, and Burnier. [32] Inspired by the work of several authors, including those related to caring philosophy and phenomenological methodology, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] this qualitative research method is employed to describe and understand phenomena in the field of nursing. [29,[35][36][37][38][39] Cara [29] used Husserl's phenomenology to mainly guide the data analysis and interpretation process, whereas the caring philosophy provided an important ontology to transform nursing research into a relational human process.…”

“…In fact, being informed by a relational caring ontology, we believe that additional interviews encourage participants to validate and co-create findings. [29,31,32,37,42] Hence, before the second telephone meeting, a copy of the summarized story and its analysis were sent to each participant, so to bring forth any appropriate changes during the second interview. [29] Giving them time to think can contribute to heighten their understanding of their own perceptions.…”

[29,30] During this phase, as mentioned by Cara, O'Reilly, and Brousseau, [30] the principal researcher invited the participants' advanced reflection or vision on how to improve or solve problems in regards to the QWL's phenomenon.…”

Objective: Successive reorganizations of healthcare system around the globe have placed enormous pressure on the work of nurse managers (NMs) and this has eroded their quality of work life (QWL). However, little is known about the meaning of NMs' QWL. Aim: Inspired by Watson's Human Caring Science perspective, this study aimed to describe and understand the meaning of QWL among NMs working in a affiliated-university hospital. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological method the Relational Caring Inquiry (RCI) was conducted to describe and understand the experiential meaning of QWL. This qualitative method was used to collect and analyze data from two semi-structured interviews with 14 NMs in an affiliated-university hospital in Quebec, Canada. Results: The results have identified the following five Eidos-themes to describe and understand the experiential meaning of QWL: (1) actualizing leadership and political skills to improve the quality of nursing care; (2) contextual elements conducive to humanization of the organization; (3) organizational support promoting socioprofessional and personal fulfillment; (4) learning culture within the organization to encourage the development of nursing management skills; and (5) personalized support addressing the specific needs of new NMs. For NMs, the essence of the QWL experience is defined as a socioprofessional emancipation of NMs in their clinical-administrative practice in humanist organizations. Conclusions: Taking an organizational humanization perspective, the results reveal sustainable and practical potential strategies aimed at optimizing QWL implementation programs.

Aim Despite its importance in nursing, perceived quality of the nurse–patient relationship has seldom been researched. This study sought to examine and compare the quality of caring attitudes and behaviours as perceived by haemodialysis patients and their nurses. Design This comparative descriptive study involved 140 haemodialysis patients and 101 nurses caring for them in ten haemodialysis units in the French‐speaking part of Switzerland. Methods Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Caring Nurse‐Patient Interaction Scale (CNPI‐70). Results Both nurses and patients reported a high frequency of caring attitudes and behaviours. Patients gave higher ratings than nurses did on all the caring dimensions, except spirituality. Implications are discussed.

Hemodialysis patients constitute a vulnerable population. Their health needs are considerable and they often present psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Empirical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of positive psychology interventions to enhance the well-being of patients and alleviate their depressive symptoms. One such intervention consists in identifying and mobilizing patient resources to activate their recovery. An intervention of the sort was implemented in Switzerland with hemodialysis nurses using AERES, a novel self-assessment instrument. AERES covers 31 domains under three dimensions: personal characteristics/qualities, hobbies/passions, and social/environmental resources. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore hemodialysis nurse perceptions of the use of this instrument. Sixteen hemodialysis nurses were recruited in six hospitals in French-speaking Switzerland and interviewed after delivering the intervention. A consensual qualitative research method was used to analyze the data. Results showed that the resources instrument was easy to administer and beneficial to patients and health professionals. Patient wellbeing became the top priority for the nurses and new interventions centered on patient resources were undertaken. Quality of patient care was improved. Nurses perceived this positive psychology instrument as a means of creating a positive relationship with patients and supporting them emotionally. Assessing the resources of this vulnerable population can provide health professionals with a powerful tool to understand patient intact resources, which can be used to alleviate symptoms and foster wellbeing.
