    This study explores nurse-patient boundary issues beyond sexual intimacy, focusing on how healthcare professionals meet social and emotional needs. Recommendations are provided for personal conduct, professional behavior, and nurse managers to address these critical boundary challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Ethics
    • Healthcare Professional Boundaries

    Background:

    • Sexual intimacy is the most frequently studied nurse-patient boundary issue.
    • The American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics does not directly address all boundary issues.
    • Nurses may meet personal social and emotional needs through their professional work, creating potential boundary challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the results of "Boundaries" workshops attended by over 3000 nurses and healthcare professionals.
    • To identify and discuss boundary issues beyond sexual intimacy.
    • To provide recommendations for managing professional and personal conduct.

    Main Methods:

    • Summary of results from "Boundaries" workshops.
    • Analysis of boundary-related behaviors in healthcare settings.
