Abstract

Nurses should support patients in the choices they make; particularly not stepping away from the difficult decisions patients are making as they live with multiple long-term conditions. This research offers a thoughtful interpretation of nurses' conversations exploring experiences and perceptions concerning patient choice and how this links to nursing partnership.
