                            <p>Giriş ve Amaç: Hasta merkezli bakım için hayati önem taşıyan terapötik iletişimi tanımlamak hemşireler için çoğu zaman zordur. Metaforlar bu önemli hususu anlamak için değerli bir araç sunar. Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelerin terapötik iletişim algılarını metaforlar aracılığıyla tanımlamaktır.Yöntemler: Çalışma fenomenolojik yaklaşım temelli metafor analizi tekniği kullanılarak 189 hemşirenin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama, 2023 yılında katılımcıların &#039;Terapötik iletişim ... gibidir. Çünkü...&#039; cümlesini tamamladığı çevrimiçi bir anket aracılığıyla gerçekleştirildi. Nitel verilerin analizinde Braun &amp;amp; Clarke&#039;ın altı adımlı tematik analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmada üç ana tema ve dokuz alt tema belirlendi; (i)Özellikler: büyülü, karmaşık, sürekli, temel, (ii)Faydalar: destek sunma, iyileştirme, rehberlik etme, iyileştirme (iii)Engeller: farkındalık eksikliği.Sonuç: Hemşireler terapötik iletişimi olumlu algılamaktadır ancak engeller daha fazla farkındalığa ihtiyaç duyulduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bulgular hemşirelerin terapötik iletişim konusundaki beceri ve tutumlarını geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmaların gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>

(i)Traits: magical, complex, continuous, essential, (ii)Benefits: offering support, healing, guidance, improving (iii)Obstacles: lack of awareness. Conclusions:  Nurses perceived therapeutic communication positively, yet obstacles indicate a need for greater awareness.
