Abstract
The role of nursing with parents in child psychiatric units has undergone significant change over the years. Historically, nurses had minimal contact with parents; more recently, the nurse's work with parents has intensified. A grounded theory study was undertaken to learn about the process of relationship building between nurses and parents on these units. Interviews and participant observation were used to collect data on 21 nurse-parent interactions. Two phases in the relationship, four patterns of interactions in the working phase, and factors that influence these relationships were identified. The results provide the practicing nurse with information that should facilitate engaging parents.
