ABSTRACT

Objective To explore and construct the cognitive response model for patients suffering conflicts with nurses, and to provide guidance cues for the prevention and treatment of nurse-patient conflict. Methods According to the grounded theory approach devoloped by Strauss, a total of 9 patients were observed and interviewed in a semi-structured way, and the collected data was analysed to extract the cognitive response theme. Results A cognitive response model for patients with nurse-patient conflicts was established, which included three phases, i.e., the demands of expectations, the emotional catharsis, and the introspection of right and wrong. Conclusion The established congnitive response model confirmes the relationships among environmental factors, patients′ cognitive processes, and patients′reponse, and can be used to prevent and deal with the conflicts between patients and nurses.
