Adult social care nursing: A hybrid concept analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The concept of adult social care nursing is poorly articulated in the literature. This study explores and defines adult social care nursing by examining its antecedents, attributes, and consequences. By clarifying this concept, the research aims to enhance understanding among policymakers, educators, service providers, and the public, fostering greater recognition of social care nurses' roles, workplaces, and contributions.

Design

A qualitative hybrid concept analysis model was used. This approach combined theoretical examination with empirical inquiry to develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept. The study was structured in four phases: concept identification, literature review, empirical data collection, and integrative analysis.
