This critical ethnographic study was initiated to explore the ways in which the concepts of caring and caring practices were constructed by nurses working in an intensive care unit in a Hong Kong hospital using a broadly Habermasian critical framework. A reform of the health care system has disturbed both the nurses and the structure of nursing.
