Abstract
The concepts of caring and professional governance in nursing and their discrete associations with patient outcomes are widely studied. At present, little to no research has been published on the nature of the relationship between the two concepts. Adaptations of two established caring theories and defining attributes of professional governance guide a caring and professional governance conceptual framework. Descriptions of theories and attributes elucidate the overall description of the framework. Understanding the relationship between caring and professional governance in nursing enables exploration of the combined relational impact on practice and outcomes. The conceptual framework provides an evidence-based foundation to this work.
