ROJAS REYES, Jennifer y RIVERA ALVAREZ, Luz Nelly. Concept Analysis of Interpersonal Skills in Nursing. Aquichan [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, e2213. Epub 26-Ene-2022. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2022.22.1.3.
Objective:
To determine a broad definition of the term interpersonal skills in nursing.
Materials and methods:
This theoretical study follows Walker and Avant's method of concept analysis to examine the defining attributes of the concept. A literature search on interpersonal aspects of nursing was conducted in databases, e-books, and institutional repositories to recognize the uses, attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of the concept. Experts on professional and relationship skills were consulted between 2009 and 2019.
Results:
This information was analyzed, concluding that interpersonal skills in nursing are defined as the abilities of professional nurses to express their knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and values in relationships with colleages, patients, and their relatives and achieve a humane and person-centered practice.
Conclusion:
The concept of interpersonal skills in nursing is limited, given a lack of clarity in practice and research on the indistinct use of terms related to interpersonal skills and interpersonal knowledge. This analysis advances nursing theory towards practice and research.
