However, previous conceptual and theoretical models of inner strength are limited. This concept analysis used dimensional analysis methods to explore inner strength in people ageing with serious illness to address limitations by defining a pragmatic, data\u2010driven model. This study analyzed published literature of adults with serious illness that describes inner strength. Thirty articles were selected after review. The result was an explanatory matrix that describes inner strength from the perspective of <jats:italic>where have I been, where am I going?<\/jats:italic> within the context of <jats:italic>being a person who is living and dies<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>you have a serious illness<\/jats:italic>. The conditions <jats:italic>spotlighting by actors around me<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>taking stock of others and ideas<\/jats:italic> lead to processes of <jats:italic>looking in\/looking out<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>seeing me as I\u2019m seen<\/jats:italic>. The final consequence of this process is <jats:italic>meeting me<\/jats:italic>. This updated concept analysis of inner strength improves upon previous models by providing a clinically relevant situation\u2010specific model of inner strength for people with serious illness. Implications for nursing scholarship and practice are described including exploration of person\u2010centered care, relational practice, and health communication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/nin.12353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,12]],"date-time":"2020-05-12T01:49:12Z","timestamp":1589248152000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A dimensional analysis of inner strength in people ageing with serious illness"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6717-0520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brianna E.","family":"Morgan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-012-1690-6"},{"issue":"12","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"1994","article-title":"Communication about serious illness care goals: A review and synthesis of best practices","volume":"174","author":"Bernacki R.
