The concept of respect, while frequently used in nursing literature, has not been extensively defined conceptually or empirically from a nursing perspective. This paper develops a conceptual definition of respect as a phenomenon in the domain of nursing action. Respect emerges as a primary nursing ethic that serves as the basis for our attitudinal, cognitive and behavioural orientation toward people. A comparison of respect to related nursing concepts reveals that respect is a component of and antecedent to caring, presence, confirmation and humanized care. A set of operational definitions of respect is proposed for use in research, education and practice. Potential methods for measuring respect as a nursing action or attitude are discussed. Several applications of respect for nursing are addressed, including the impact of lack of respect on patient-provider interactions, consideration of respect in a cultural context, and identification of client groups for which respect may have particularly significant implications. The paper concludes with recommendations for further research, with emphasis on the meaning and implications of respect for clients.
尊重这一概念虽然在护理文献中经常被使用，但从护理角度在概念上或实证方面尚未得到广泛界定。本文阐述了尊重作为护理行动领域一种现象的概念性定义。尊重作为一种主要的护理伦理出现，它是我们对人在态度、认知和行为取向上的基础。将尊重与相关护理概念进行比较发现，尊重是关怀、陪伴、确认和人性化护理的组成部分且是其前提。本文提出了一套尊重的操作性定义，供研究、教育和实践中使用。讨论了将尊重作为一种护理行动或态度进行测量的潜在方法。探讨了尊重在护理中的几种应用，包括缺乏尊重对医患互动的影响、在文化背景下对尊重的考量，以及确定尊重可能具有特别重要意义的客户群体。本文最后提出了进一步研究的建议，重点是尊重对客户的意义和影响。
