Exploring nurses' perceptions of nurse managers' communicative relationships that encourage nurses' decisions to buy-in to initiatives that enhance patients' experiences with care.

Aim: To explore nurses' perceptions of nurse managers' (NMs') communicative relationships that encourage nurses' decisions to buy-in to organisational initiatives to enhance patients' experiences with care (PEC).

Background: The role of the nurse to patient experience is well established, yet little is known about how the communicative relationship between manager and nurse relates to nurse buy-in to PEC initiatives.

Method: An exploratory qualitative descriptive study was conducted with 15 nurses from two inpatient medical-surgical units in a large acute care hospital using semi-structured interviews.
