A systematic search was conducted in databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and PsycINFO for peer\u2010reviewed studies published from 2000 to March 2026. Inclusion criteria focused on nurse\u2010patient interactions, attachment theory in clinical settings, and patient\u2010reported experiences. Two independent researchers screened the literature for relevance. The analysis followed the prescribed steps, including identifying attributes and developing model and contrary cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on 26 identified studies, nurse\u2010patient attachment was defined as patients' experiences of emotional and clinical security derived from interactions with nurses during health\u2010related crises. Key attributes included perceived relational security, reliance on nurses as supportive figures, and emotion regulation. Identified antecedents were vulnerability owing to illness, nurse availability, and emotional responsiveness. Consequences (potential outcomes) included perceived safety, strengthened self\u2010efficacy, clinical resilience, and a collaborative therapeutic alliance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study clarified the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of nurse\u2010patient attachment.
