In order to practice an ethic of care within the nursing profession, that is, in order to care for those for whom the nurse is responsible, caring for others needs to be distinguished from merely carrying out one's obligations by following rules. This article by using the method of philosophical analysis argues that caring is an emotion-like state fitting within a general explanation of the emotions as concern based construals and therefore as unified experiences of beliefs, desires and feelings. By clarifying the concept of care, it tries to lay a foundation for inculcating a culture of caring into the practitioners of the caring profession. Since caring involves care-specific beliefs and desires caring requires acquiring the appropriate beliefs and desires which constitute the experience of caring for others.
为了在护理行业践行关怀伦理，也就是说，为了照顾护士所负责的对象，关怀他人需要与仅仅通过遵守规则履行义务区分开来。本文运用哲学分析方法认为，关怀是一种类似情感的状态，适合于将情感作为基于关切的解释，因此是信念、欲望和情感的统一体验。通过阐明关怀的概念，它试图为将关怀文化灌输给关怀行业的从业者奠定基础。由于关怀涉及特定于关怀的信念和欲望，关怀需要获得构成关怀他人体验的适当信念和欲望。
