“…Rehabilitation nursing care also is education oriented (Booth et al., 2009; Clarke, 2014; Gutenbrunner et al., 2021; Havrilla, 2017; Hoeman, 2008; Kirkevold, 1997; Li et al., 2017; Miller et al., 2010; O'Connor, 2000; Pryor & Smith, 2002; Rundquist et al., 2011; Thorn, 2000; Vaughn et al., 2016; Wang & Zhou, 2021; Zhang et al., 2021; Zhao et al., 2021; Zhu & Zhan, 2021; Zuchetto et al., 2021). Another attribute of this concept is specialization, which distinguishes rehabilitation nursing care from general nursing care (Clarke, 2014; Gutenbrunner et al., 2021; Havrilla, 2017; Hoeman, 2008; O'Connor, 2000; Portillo & Cowley, 2011; Thorn, 2000; Vaughn et al., 2016; Zuchetto et al., 2021). The evidence also shows that rehabilitation nursing care in the acute phase of diseases is client‐ and family centered (Hoeman, 2008; Li et al., 2017; O'Connor, 2000; Pryor et al., 2005; St‐Germain et al., 2011; Suter‐Riederer et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2021), need‐based care (Dreyer et al., 2016; Havrilla, 2017; Hoeman, 2008; O'Connor, 2000; Pryor et al., 2005; St‐Germain et al., 2011; Suter‐Riederer et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2021), culture‐based (St‐Germain et al., 2011; Suter‐Riederer et al., 2018; Vaughn et al., 2016), ethical (St‐Germain et al., 2011; Suter‐Riederer et al., 2018; Vaughn et al., 2016), unique (Dreyer et al., 2016; Hoeman, 2008; Miller et al., 2010; Pryor et al., …”
