Abstract
The experiences of psychiatric community nurses with regard to their interaction with psychiatric patients were explored and described. A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used. Phenomenological semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposefully selected sample population. Trustworthiness was ensured by using Lincoln & Guba's (1985) model. A literature control was conducted as well. Results indicated that healthier support is needed for the psychiatric nurse to facilitate therapeutic interaction between the psychiatric patient and the community psychiatric nurse.
