Background:

Increasing research highlights the prevalence of missed nursing care and care rationing.
Awareness is growing regarding the impact of these practices on nurses' coping abilities and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine nurses' experiences with institutionally enforced choices regarding undone patient care.

Main Methods:

In-depth interviews (video and telephone) were conducted with four experienced nurses.
Nurses described their decision-making processes for prioritizing patient care under workload pressures.

Main Results:

Thematic analysis revealed four key themes: compromising care, incongruity between professional standards and organizational resources, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization.
