This research report (66 pages, in French) presents the findings from a study on circular communication between nurses and the family caregivers of hospitalized older adults at risk of or actively experiencing delirium. It was written by sociologist Monique Benoit and nurses Louise Bélanger, Anne Bourbonnais and Roxanne Bernier. Using a multiple case study methodology, the authors examine four cases involving 13 individuals to highlight the factors most apt to influence caregiver/nurse communication. They also suggest avenues for reflection in terms of research, training, practices and management, with a view to developing better communication between nurses and caregivers.
