[The therapeutic communication during installation of endovenous therapy: the use of video-taped simulation].

The use of therapeutic communication contributes to nursing care quality, mainly in procedures that cause fear and anxiety in patients, such as the installation of endovenous therapy. This study aimed to identify how nurses perceive therapeutic communication during the installation of endovenous therapy, as shown in a filmed simulation. This exploratory-descriptive and comparative study was developed in a Mexican city and involved 30 clinical nurses and 12 nursing faculty.
