  • Analysis of how healthcare system organization impacts the delivery of care.
  • Exploration of 'care by proxy' as a delegation of the caring role.

    • Main Results:

    • Current understandings of caring in nursing do not fully encompass the complexities of the work environment.
    • Nurses sometimes delegate caring responsibilities, resulting in 'care by proxy,' which is under-acknowledged.
    • Personal career choices and healthcare system structures significantly shape how nurses enact caring.

    Conclusions:

    • The traditional definition of caring in nursing requires re-evaluation to reflect current practice.
    • 'Care by proxy' is a significant, yet often unacknowledged, aspect of modern nursing.
    • Defining caring as 'formalized caring' provides a more accurate framework for understanding nursing practice today.
