If the archetype associated with a particular family relationship is deemed, when looked at constructively, to be one that is competitive as apposed to collaborative or "carative" and the competitive nature of the relationship degrades patient relationships or family relationships with the RN then interventions, drawn from evidence-based examples found within this research paper, can be isolated and implemented whenever possible.

Conclusion reflective view of the relationship between RNs and families of long-term care facility residents is essential to construction of family and patient perception of the entire long-term care experience and as an aside the overall positive and/or negative perception of the nurse on the family, the patient, the relationship and possibly even the whole of his or her employment. 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 or she has with those around him, including all staff and of course family.
