Watson's theory alone cannot explain the ontological priority of moral responsibility in nursing identity; Levinas provides this foundation, while Watson demonstrates how moral obligation manifests therapeutically. Through a structured three-stage inquiry, nine core concepts are analyzed to resolve tensions between ethical asymmetry and mutual transformation. The synthesis shows that ethical responsiveness to vulnerability drives transpersonal caring processes, positioning the nurse-patient relationship as central to professional identity rather than just a part of the practice context. This integrated framework highlights relational ontology as fundamental to nursing science, with implications for practice change, curriculum design, and research focused on transpersonal caring.</p>","PeriodicalId":49726,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Science Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"99-107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146054601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
