  • Description: BackgroundMany social actors participate in the health and social care of adolescents and emerging adults with life-limiting illnesses or injuries. Though nurses bear intimate witness to the experiences of young people and their loved ones, dimensions of social relationships between nurses, young people, and members of young peoples’ social circles lack description and interpretation in extant literature.AimThe purpose of this inquiry was to develop a situation-specific theory to explain the nature of social relationships in nurses’ caring for adolescents and emerging adults with life-limiting illnesses or injuries. This paper focuses on dimensions of trust, offering insight into how bidirectional trust between a nurse and the social actors of a young person’s circle determines the nature of nurses’ caring.MethodIn alignment with dimensional analysis method, theoretical sampling, data collection, and data analysis occurred iteratively and concurrently. Twenty-one nurses who provide care in pediatric or adult inpatient, outpatient, and home care settings in the United States participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews. Inductive coding, dimensionalization, and constant comparison technique helped surface and relate dimensions of social relationships in nurses’ caring for adolescents and emerging adults.FindingsTrust is both a dimension of relational closeness and a driver of nurses’ care for adolescents and emerging adults. Bidirectional trust evolves as nurses assess, diagnose, and re-evaluate the young person, the social circle, and themselves. Nurses’ trust in other social actors determines how nurses conceptualize and perform relational care.ConclusionsWhen and how nurses involve social actors in the health and social care of a young person depends on nurses’ feelings of trust. Understanding the dynamic bidirectional nature of trust holds implications for nurses’ enactment of relationship-centered care in the context of young peoples’ life-limiting illnesses and injuries.
