In this article we elaborate on the concept of mature care, in which reciprocity is crucial. Emphasizing reciprocity challenges other comprehensions where care is understood as a one-sided activity, with either the carer or the cared for considered the main source of knowledge and sole motivation for caring. We aim to demonstrate the concept of mature care's advantages with regard to conceptualizing the practice of care, such as in nursing. First, we present and discuss the concept of mature care, then we apply the concept to two real life cases taken from the field of acute psychiatry. In the first example we demonstrate how mature care can grasp tacit reciprocal aspects in caring. In the other, we elucidate a difficulty related to the concept, namely the lack of reciprocity and interaction that affects some relationships.
在本文中，我们详细阐述了成熟护理的概念，其中互惠是至关重要的。强调互惠性挑战了其他理解，即护理被理解为单方面的活动，护理者或被护理者被认为是知识的主要来源和护理的唯一动机。我们旨在通过将护理实践概念化来展示成熟护理概念的优势，例如在护理领域。首先，我们介绍和讨论成熟护理的概念，然后将该概念应用于两个来自急性精神病学领域的实际案例。在第一个例子中，我们展示了成熟护理如何理解护理中隐含的互惠方面。在另一个例子中，我们阐明了与该概念相关的一个难题，即缺乏互惠和相互作用，这会影响一些关系。
