Centrality of the Nurse-
Patient Relationship
Martinsen argues that caring is
the fundamental essence of
nursing. Unlike technical
procedures, which can be
performed by anyone with the
necessary training, caring is a
deeply moral and relational act
that defines the nursing
profession.
Caring as the essence of the nurse
Martinsen argues that caring is
fundamentally relational. It is not
a one-way process but involves a
genuine connection between the
nurse and the patient. This
relationship is characterized by
trust, empathy, and mutual
respect.
Relational aspect
Martinsen sees nursing
not just as a series of
tasks but as a moral
practice. Nurses are not
only caregivers but also
moral agents who must
navigate complex ethical
landscapes.
