Building trust is a foundational step, achieved through a client-centred approach, tailored interactions, and the provision of information. Clarifying the nurses' role benefits both interprofessional collaboration and professionals' well-being. Due to fragmented health records, precise documentation is essential for ensuring continuity of care. These findings can inform service development and professional training.
