“…The purpose of dependency work is not to undo dependency, but to make that relationship function as well as possible.

“…What surfaces as a problem for professionals may not be what surfaces as a problem for them. Our aim was not to give a phenomenological account of experiencing dependency as a problem, which is a project others have taken up (Eriksson & Andershed, 2008;Piredda et al, 2015;Strandberg et al, 2000;Strandberg, Norberg, & Jansson, 2003). Instead, we provide ideas about how dependency is treated as a problem by care professionals.…”

van der Weele, accepted for publication). By definition, caring relationships are relationships of dependency, too. This has been recognized by foundational thinkers of nursing studies and care ethics alike. Virginia Henderson, for instance, defined the nurse's function as 'to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge' (Henderson, 1964, p. 64). Henderson thus assumed nursing to spring forth from a relationship of dependency between the caretaker and the care recipient (Dorothea Orem (1959) spoke of a 'self-care deficit'). Similarly, Joan Tronto writes that 'care arises out of the fact that not all humans or others or objects in the world

“…Many elderly people probably feel that they are on the verge of becoming more dependent. As dependency is related to life satisfaction 165 , the patients in the present study probably found their goal for physical activity and exercise meaningful. In frail elderly individuals, loneliness is a problem of great concern 166 .…”

“…However, some patients with advanced cancer who became care dependent found that their condition could be also experienced positively (Piredda et al, 2016). Indeed, patients’ experiences are highly influenced by the type of nursing care received: positive care relationships can foster personal development and lead patients to find new balances, while negative care relationships can worsen helplessness and suffering (Piredda et al, 2015). Furthermore, nurses taking care of patients with advanced cancer in palliative care underlined the role of the nurse‐patient relationship in positively or negatively influencing the patients’ condition of dependence (Piredda et al, 2019).…”

Objective: This multicentre study aimed to develop a measure of the perception of care dependence in patients diagnosed with cancer and to test its psychometric properties. Methods:The questionnaire was developed based on findings emerged from a metasynthesis and from qualitative studies conducted in three hospitals in Italy. The draft questionnaire was tested for face and content validity and pilot-tested with patients.The questionnaire was completed by care-dependent patients with cancer. Testretest was conducted to verify stability. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed using a Maximum Likelihood robust estimator. Results and conclusion:The Scale-Content Validity Index was 0.92. The final 15-item questionnaire was completed by 208 patients admitted to two hospitals. The EFA yielded a two-factor model including a positive and a negative perception of care dependence. Factor score determinacy coefficients, Cronbach's alpha coefficients, composite reliability coefficients and Intraclass Correlations Coefficients yielded satisfactory results confirming internal consistency and stability. The hedonic balance score is also available as a single indicator of subjective well-being. The study provides initial validation of the Care DEeP Questionnaire that can be used by cancer nurses to assess positive and negative patient experiences with care dependence and to personalise and improve their care.
