Topic Concept analysis of temporality. Purpose To develop a comprehensive definition of temporality applicable to nursing care. Source Published literature. Conclusions Temporality is a central component of our experience of the world. Phenomena such as the passage of time, time cycles, the trajectory of aging, transitions toward something, something being, and life as a limited time are integral to human experience. Temporality could be seen as lived time, and as such it is subjective time as opposed to clock time or objective time. The temporal dimensions of past, present, and future constitute the perspective of a person's temporal world.
