RELAÇÃO ENFERMEIRO-PACIENTE ADULTO: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA ORIENTADA PELO SISTEMA INTERPESSOAL DE KING.

Objective: to analyze the evidence about the relational behavior between the nurse and the adult patient, positioning them epistemologically in the Interpersonal System of the Open Systems Conceptual Model. Method: integrative review to answer the question: what are the behavioral elements present in the adult nurse-patient interpersonal relationship and how are they structured epistemologically? We searched the LILACS, PubMed / MEDLINE, IBECS, Science Direct, BDENF and SCIELO libraries by February 2015. Sixteen studies were selected. The analysis was guided by the Imogene King Interpersonal System. Results: the interpersonal relationship is effected by care with affection in the interaction and transaction. The communication, permeated by subjectivity and intertwined with ethics and morals, strengthens the bonds and defines the roles of the interlocutors. Stress moments occur when there is imbalance in interaction, transaction, communication or a role. Conclusion: the review showed the elements of the interpersonal relationship that links each concept of King's interpersonal system.
