Easy and appropriate ways for DNs and people who live at home with chronic illnesses to communicate are required for the achievement of satisfactory accessibility to nursing care. Equally important for DNs is a good relationship with both the ill person living at home and their relatives (4, 6). The meaning of a caring relationship for DN has been described keeping a balance between simultaneously professional and private with the ill person and their family. It is necessary for DNs in caring relationships with ill people to be on hand when needed, to be able to give time and inspire confidence in the ill person and their families. At the same time, DNs describe the importance of setting limits to maintain their own integrity (7). DNs see themselves as guests when they visit the homes of ill people (7, 8).
