Results: Seven themes emerged from the data showing the nurses perception and description of the communication with patients, colleagues, nursing supervisors and physicians. The following themes showed the experienced patterns of communication by the nurses: being special, altruism, psychosocial support, updated knowledge and skills for interactions management, reaction to actions related to different factors, complement of patient-physician communication deficiency, and professional identity and socialization basis of communication.
