In clinical nursing, the nurse-patient relationship can be divided into three basic models. The basic modes of doctor-patient relationship and doctor-patient communication are divided into the following three types:

Active-passive type: it can also be called dominant-obedient mode. Commonly used in delirium, shock, dementia and some mental patients. In this mode, medical staff are active or dominant, while patients are completely passive. This period is characterized by medical staff treating patients. At this time, our medical staff are required to have a high sense of responsibility, because patients are completely passive.

Guidance-cooperation type: In this period, medical staff often appear as instructors, and provide appropriate health education and guidance to patients according to their illness. This period is characterized by staff telling patients what to do and how to do it. Mainly suitable for acute patients and postoperative recovery patients.

Participation: During this period, medical staff and patients participate in the nursing process of decision-making and treatment. Its characteristic is that medical staff actively assist patients in self-care. Mainly suitable for patients with chronic diseases with certain cultural knowledge.
