A concept analysis of respect applying the hybrid model in cross-cultural settings

Respect was analyzed as ct concept in the domain of nursing action using the hybrid model of concept development Field research methods provided empirical descriptions of respect in two different cross-cultural settings. Participant observations were conducted in an outpatient clinic of a large U.S. hospital providing services to a multicultural client population, and key informant interviews were undertaken in ct Canadian First Nations community. Data analysis proceeded according to a variation of Schatzman and Strauss's notation system. Findings from, analyses of field data revealed patterns of interaction indicative of respect and lack of respect By synthesizing theoretical and empirical findings, key indicators, potential operational indicators, and a conceptual definition of respect were developed. The findings provide preliminary descriptions of respect that lay the foundation for future analyses and applications in nursing.
