Nursing care dependency is a key, yet under-studied, nursing phenomenon. Patients in intensive care units are highly dependent on nursing care. Patients find dependency challenging, experiencing feelings of powerlessness and shame. The nurse-patient care relationship can influence patients' perception of dependency. Understanding how nurses experience their care for dependent patients is crucial, as nurses might not always grasp the impact of their actions on patients' dependency experiences.
