[The relationship as a way of establishing trust in care]. / La relation pour instaurer la confiance dans les soins.

During a hospital stay, trust is established during nursing care and the relationship process surrounding it. The relationship, care and trust are therefore closely linked. Care cannot exist without a relationship. The information given and the attitude and behaviour of the hospital staff play a key role in establishing a trust-based relationship in care.

[The information required for trust to be established]. / L'information nécessaire pour une relation de confiance.

Law 2002-303 of 4th March 2002 relating to patients' rights and the quality of the healthcare system, specifies the content of the information which must be made available to each patient, whether they are an adult, child or legally incapacitated. This establishment of the informed consent of the patient implies that he or she has been given the relevant information contributing to the fostering of a trust-based relationship.
