Summary

This research aims to identify key issues related to the interpersonal relationship between nurses, family members, and patients. One of the greatest nursing challenges is staying vigilant towards someone becoming less attentive with time. This creates an imbalance in the relationship. More is given than can be returned. The present is not the here, and now; it plays in the past or a fictional dream perception. However, this should not result in family members disconnecting from the
loved one, even with advanced dementia. Babies and toddlers themselves cannot speak yet can understand a lot – which doesn't prevent us from communicating with them all the time. Instead, caring relatives are slowly distancing themselves from the diagnosed individual. Leaving a family member because of the diagnosis is not the right way to support their loved ones. Particularly focusing on communicational obstacles between the patient and the nurse or family caregiver. The feeling of belonging and emotional exchange is immensely important for their last chapter of life.
