- Encounters and interactions between healthcare professionals and patients are central in healthcare services and delivery.

The data were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. This study focused on the latent content of the interview data to gain a rich understanding of the professionals’ experiences of
the encounters. Two themes were identified: “Nurturing the encounter with oneself and colleagues for continuous, professional improvement” and “Striving for a meaningful connection with the patient”. The professionals experienced their encounters with persons who frequently use PES as caring, professional, and humane processes. Prerequisites to those encounters were knowing and
understanding oneself, having self‐acceptance and self‐compassion, and working within person‐centered cultures and care environments. (Less)
