Human-to-Human Relationship Model The therapeutic use of self in communicating and establishing relationships^4 Finding meaning, during interactions, is essential to the nurse and patient relationship^4 Human-to-Human relationships serve to define and make proficient the practice of nursing^4 Recognizing the importance of sympathy, as well as empathy, in order to develop human-to-human relationships 4 A nurse exhibiting sympathy is an act of courage because the nurse is risking pain, and one should recognize the dangers involved in sympathy, such as over-identification, a distorted sense of pity, causing harm to the patient, becoming too soft hearted, or being will paralyzer to the patient^4 Involves working through the phases of initial encounter, emerging identity, empathy, sympathy, and rapport^4
Phases of the Nurse-Patient Relationship Rapport : The phase of rapport is the end result of all phases. An accumulation of thoughts, experiences, feelings, and attitudes, involving both nurse and patient, that they can share, perceive, and communicate, resulting in a therapeutic relationship^4 Travelbee defined her place in history as a pioneer of nursing theory, because she used a different approach, the human-to-human relationship between nurse and patient, as she synthesized her unique ideas that differentiated her work from that of other theorists^4
The Relationship to My Profession Travelbee’s Phase of the Nurse – Patient Relationship is exactly how I practice nursing on a daily basis—it is who I am, without ever thinking about it The human-to-human relationship model of nursing, in my opinion, is a tool for gaining trust, acknowledging respect for others, and showing that empathy and sympathy are important factors for relationships to be successful and sustaining, offering a sense of foreseeable well being for the patient, family, or the community I take pride in being able to exhibit this on a daily basis, and it is a belief of Buddhists that people can achieve compassion with such a skill that it happens without effort, being unconditional and universal in practice 6
