title: [Concepts bridge practice, teaching, leadership and research].
abstract: Concepts are abstract phenomena expressed by terms. They are used as tools for thinking and communication. In nursing science they are the basic elements of theory by which the domain of science and it's interests are articulated. In nursing science the recognition of essential concepts are accomplished both in the client and client-nurse dimensions and nursing practice-nursing environment dimensions. Working for the recognition of concepts helps nurse practitioners of different sectors to better understand the aims of the other.
