| Sumario: | Person-centered care is not just an approach but a philosophy that recognizes the uniqueness of each individual and the importance of actively involving the patent in their own care (McCormack & McCance, 2016). In this context, the therapeutic nursepatient relationship becomes crucially relevant. In mental health units, for both patients and nurses, the therapeutic relationship consists of a meaningful interaction where a therapeutic alliance is established based on the trust established between both parties, which aims to help the patient develop and improve their well-being (Moreno-Poyato et al., 2016). The therapeutic relationship connects the patient's experience with the nurses’ expertise. For this, the empathic atitude, authenticity, and acceptance of the nurse are essential elements in establishing an environment of trust that allows the patient to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. In this sense, the therapeutic relationship is not only a technique to achieve clinical goals; it is also a catalyst for patient autonomy and active participation in decision-making regarding their treatment. Consequently, this nurse-patient connection aligns perfectly with the fundamental principles of person-centred care, consolidating an approach that respects and values the dignity of the individual. |
