description Objectives: To explore the prevailing relationships between residents and staff in nursing homes in Lebanon, and to elicit factors that influence these relationships. Method: Using a qualitative phenomenological design, this study was conducted to explore the lived experience of residents, especially pertaining to their relationships with staff. The study included 13 residents aged 65 and above with no cognitive impairment. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and were analysed using the Giorgi method. Findings: Two main themes representing resident perceptions about their interactions with the nurses emerged: (1) relationships to satisfy the need for physical care, (2) relationships that foster a bond of caring and trust. Discussion: Reflecting about resident-nurse relationships and examining factors that promote trust and stronger bonding help caregivers understand the importance of fostering a stronger relationship with residents. These findings have implications for developing policy and practice in nursing homes in Lebanon and elsewhere. Conclusion: This is the first study conducted by a nurse researcher in Lebanon that has explicitly explored the nature of relationships between caregivers and care-receivers in nursing homes. The contribution of this study is not solely restricted to experiences and outcomes of care, but also includes implications for policy and practice.
