Abstract

Topic: Nursing presence in clinical practice.

Purpose: To explore the concept of presence within the nursing literature.

Sources: Published literature.

Conclusions: True presence creates the opportunity for nurses to go where the patient is in life, to learn about the experience of health as it is defined and lived, and to work with patients as they choose the meaning of the situation.
