The maintenance of good relationships between staff (but particularly RNs) and families of residents in long-term care is essential for positive communication and potential compliance of both the patient and the family with care needs, social, psychological and physical. There has been up to this point a lack of research with regard to the nature of these relationships, regardless of the fact that anecdotal evidence suggests the relative importance of them for positive patient outcomes. The long-term care facility can realistically be an individual's final home in this world, and should be treated as such, with regard to the types of relationships he...

This work serves as a brief review of literature that has helped develop as sense of what types of research questions would be viable to answer novel and standard questions about such relationships.
