title: A unique concept of nursing care.
abstract: The form of caring may vary across cultures; but the perception of the caring by the receiver is universal. The patient knows what hurts, what problems are crucial and what experiences have been deeply buried. As a Chinese from Taiwan, raised in Japan and educated in the US, the author provides a unique concept of nursing care that relies on the patient for direction.
