    • Four critical attributes essential to all instances of anxiety were identified.
    • Model cases, related cases, contrary cases, and illegitimate cases of anxiety were presented to illustrate these attributes.

    Findings:

    • Key antecedents contributing to the development of anxiety were identified.
    • The consequences stemming from anxiety were thoroughly discussed.
    • Empirical referents demonstrating the occurrence of anxiety were classified and linked to critical attributes.

    Implications:

    • This concept analysis establishes a foundational understanding for developing anxiety assessment instruments.
    • The findings provide a crucial conceptual basis for future clinical research on anxiety.
    • A clearer definition of anxiety can improve nursing care and client outcomes.
