dc.description.abstractPediatric mental health nurses, working in an agency in the midst of introducing Trauma Informed Care, were interviewed to examine the factors influencing perceptions of aggression. Relational Inquiry (Hartrick Doane & Varcoe, 2005; 2007) framed the research and Kvale’s (1996) Interpretive Methodology informed the interview and analysis. The complexity of relationships impacted the participants’ perceptions. Two constructs interwoven throughout the findings: time to develop relationships and knowledge about the individuals with whom the relationships were to be formed. Five themes were identified however the Participant-Colleague relationship was critical to perceptions of aggression. The Participant-Child relationship and the functioning of the system of care were important. The participants recognized reflexivity as critical to the understanding of their perceptions. The participant’s created a common understanding of aggression. Recommendations include: 1) clinical supervision to explore issues of moral distress and burnout 2) create capacity for nursing research 3) expand research exploring ‘safety’, ‘support’ and observational studies.en_US
