The results of the study show that the phases in the nurse–patient
relationship, as described by Suserud (Dahlberg et al., 2003),
appeared in the SANSs descriptions of ambulance missions. Furthermore,
the study reveals that each phase of pre-hospital
nurse–patient relationship includes several parts, these findings
extend Suserud’s (Dahlberg et al., 2003) description. The identification
and resolution phase was repeated at least twice in most missions,
the first occasion took place where the patient was situated
and the second occasion took place in the ambulance. This finding
strengthens Suserud’s (Dahlberg et al., 2003) perception that the
phases of the pre-hospital nurse–patient relationship must be
understood as a dynamic process and not as something fixed and
delimited, the phases can, in many nurse–patient relationships,
in fact, overlap each other.
