Abstract
The interaction of the patients and staff of dialysis units is a fascinating subject and probably also an important one. Its importance stems from two sources at least. One is the often-described finding that staff-patient interaction is a main source of stress for the staff. The second reason is that staff-patient interaction can influence or modify the patient’s behavior and adjustment. The present report will summarize some ideas and findings about these two aspects of staff-patient interaction.
