title: Communicating with staff nurses: support or hostility?
abstract: Communication researchers specializing in social support determine factors that influence and make up supportive encounters in the hospital environment. Effective communication strategies provide a vital dyad's link between nurse managers and staff nurses. Thus, supportive relationships are formed that can ease stressful situations and encourage innovative ideas.
