Engaging clients is central to nurses' work across all practice settings. This concept analysis seeks to better understand engagement as seen by the participants. Data from 15 qualitative studies conducted between 1982 and 2020 illustrate engagement from the perspective of nurse and client. Five defining attributes emerged: genuine concern and hopeful persistence, authenticity, trusting, time, and mutuality. The purpose of this concept analysis is to make the process of engagement visible, quantifiable, and valid.
