Method: This was a qualitative research using phenomenological method. 15 semi-structured interviews were carried out with 8 nurses and 7 physicians. They described their experiences related to professional communication. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and the data were then analyzed using Colaizzi analysis method. Results: 317 codes, 4 themes, and 19 subthemes which influenced the nurse-physician relationship were emerged from data analysis. One of the main themes was perception of the relationship pattern. Professional relationships between physicians and nurses were described based on this theme.
