The ultimate aim of caring is to preserve a person’s dignity, his/her absolute value as a human being, and the right of self-determination. Caregivers experience a sense of impotence when, for various reasons, they are unable to give care that preserves the patient’s dignity. This may lead to burnout and dropout from the profession. This paper discusses shared humanity, moral behavior, and responsive relationships as sources of caring as described in the literature.
