Respect was described as a sense of being valued and/or

between family members, adolescents’ connectedness to
school and nurse–patient connectedness. For example,

of connectedness in the nurse–patient relationship was the
nurse’s ability to acknowledge the patient as a unique person,
which in turn made the patient feel valued by the nurse
