Abstract

This article discusses whether certain aspects of 'New Nursing' which involve changes in nurse-patient relationships and the emphasis of the nurse's role fit with patients' preferences for their care. It reports on a study investigating these issues, and concludes that patients in general want a warm and friendly style of nursing, but a substantial minority do not agree with the use of patients' first names. Patients' evaluations of the most important nursing activities focus on listening to patients' worries, teaching them about their conditions, and relieving pain.
