Abstract

This exploratory study examined factors affecting nurse-perceived reciprocity in nurse-patient relationships of practicing public health nurses. The hypothesis was that there is a positive relationship between selected demographic (age), professional (years as RN, years in public health nursing), personal (career satisfaction, satisfaction with nurse-patient relationships), and contextual variables (work satisfaction, years with current employer, type of nursing care delivery system (team, primary, case management, functional, other), and satisfaction with workload) and nurse-perceived reciprocity in nurse-patient relationships.
