Abstract Background: The concept of caring has been around for centuries. Although there are various uses of the concept, the definition has remained ambiguous. By examining, analyzing, and synthesizing the various literature on caring, a clearer and better understanding of the concept can emerge. Objective: The purpose of this paper was to identify and explore the concept of caring, determine similarities in the literature, distinguish the uses of the concept throughout disciplines, and provide clarification for the development of nursing science. Methodology: In this paper, the author used the Walker and Avant method of concept analysis to explore the concept of caring across various disciplines to create a definition suitable for nursing science using Watson’s theoretical perspective. Results: After careful review of the literature, attributes of caring identified were mindful, altruism, and reverence. The antecedents of caring were understanding and compassion. The consequences of caring were trust and the individual being cared for feeling valued and protected. Conclusion and Recommendations: Caring is universal and central to nursing. Proper investigation and development of the concept is vital to the nursing discipline and nursing science. By exploring the concept in light of Watson’s theoretical perspective, nursing science is further expanded.
