Background: Nurse faculty routinely balance many caregiving roles in their work duties. Approximately 61% of the workforce is also an unpaid caregiver, adding to the possibility that nurse faculty have caregiving roles associated with the classroom, clinical area, and at home. Purpose: The aim of this article is to determine the state of the literature on compound caregivers and determine a definition in the context of nurse faculty. Methods: The method used for this study was a concept analysis by Walker and Avant's framework. CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, ERIC, and Complementary Index databases were searched from 2004 to 2024. Results: Nine peer-reviewed articles were examined for this discussion. Implications for Practice: A concept definition was proposed for compound caregivers in the context of nurse faculty. Defining this concept helps administrators recognize factors that place nurse faculty at risk for negative consequences from caregiving and may improve retention in the faculty workforce.
