Closeness of the elderly towards the nurse

Abstract

The present study explores the closeness between two different groups who have been historically marginated: the elderly and the nurses. Due to the fact that today both groups are related by professional links this study concludes that an attitude of respect and a sort of friendship should be established between them in order to obtain a high professional and quality care. To be able to meet this aim, dialogue, exchange of experiences and mutual help should be increased.
