Abstract
Nurses are guided by The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics to establish relationships of trust with their patients. For many years, nursing has been identified as the most trusted profession and nurses have been ranked highly regarding their honesty and ethical behavior. The quality of the relationship between nurse and patient is linked by the establishment of trust. The patient who has a trusting relationship with their nurse is more likely to participate in their care process. This hermeneutic phenomenological study explored the lived experience of a Chaldean patient or Chaldean family member during their hospitalization. Individual interviews provided a description of aspects of the participants' lived experiences. Four key themes emerged: navigating communication, needs as a patient, comfort and courtesy, and trust. Through the sharing of their personal hospitalization stories, the ten participants in this study offered insight into their experiences, which were instrumental in shaping the findings of this research.
