Abstract
Emotional strain is referenced in the literature in the context of job demands and caregiving, but is seldom defined as a distinct concept. This concept is examined using Walker and Avant’s method of analysis. Defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences of emotional strain are proposed. This analysis adopts a definition of emotional strain that encourages communication and enhances concept understanding. Emotional strain in nursing needs to be recognized as a key factor in the delivery of safe patient care. The definition contributes to the development of nursing knowledge and enhances efforts to serve nurses and students affected by emotional strain.
