Abstract
Theoretical frameworks offer guiding principles to guide nursing practice on well-defined nursing knowledge. Peplau's theory of interpersonal relationship empowers nurses in their work for regaining health and well-being for people. Understanding the theory and the connectedness that arises from this theory provides a structure for nurse-patient relations, even working through a language barrier as evidenced by the case scenario detailed in this article.
