Self-awareness includes self-review, as well as self-confidence. Self-regulation is expressed beyond emotion and reliability.

When nurses are self-aware, they are able to adapt and even change their attitudes and actions to understand how unusual people care for them, thereby improving the nurse-patient relationship. Nurses need to think carefully about whether they may be maintaining a dependency while caring for a client and whether the relationship interferes with meeting the client's needs. It is also essential to ensure that the provision of care to family and friends does not interfere with the care of other clients or the dynamics of the care group. Before reaching a conclusion, the nurse may wish to discuss the situation with colleagues and the employer.
