Respect was analyzed as a concept in the domain of nursing action using the hybrid model of concept development. Field research methods provided empirical descriptions of respect in two different cross-cultural settings. Participant observations were conducted in an outpatient clinic ofa large U.S. hospitalproviding services toa multicultural clientpopulation, and key informant interviews were undertaken in a Canadian First Nations community. Data analysis proceeded according to a variation of Schatzman and Strauss 's notation system. Findings from analyses of field data revealed patterns of interaction indicative of respect and lack of respect. By synthe-sizing theoretical and empirical findings, key indicators, potential operational indicators, and a conceptual definition of respect were developed. Thefindings provide preliminary descriptions of respect that lay the foundation for future analyses and applications in nursing.
