Relationships between the medical personnel, particularly between physicians and nurses are an important factor in providing the medical care. If an institution has sufficient number of members and optimum structure of the personnel and if there is a good communication and cooperation between the members, then it is possible to see considerable effects of these factors on providing the medical care and on its results. Unsuitable behaviour is one of most important factors, which affect the quality of relationships between the employees. The relationships between nurses and physicians belong to considerable and important aspects of the general atmosphere at the working site and thus, it will call for versatile approaches.
