Abstract:

Patients adaptation difficulties to the hospital environment represents a frequently met condition for the medical practice. That situation of adaptation difficulty is induced by many factors of intrinsic but especially extrinsic nature. Patients psychic and his/her diagnosis sternness can influence his/her adaptation but the nurses play based on the caring pattern decisively contribute for that obstacle should be overwhelmed. Nurses interventions contribute to make that impact of transition get minimal and aim to the patient physical and psychical undamaged frame/condition. The nurse is a recognized member of the medical team; his/her contribution is to cooperate, thereby enabling patients adaptation to the hospital environment; he/she is expected to provide for the patients fundamental needs. Could the patient "smile" when he/she leaves the hospital?


Keywords: nurse, transition, adaptation
