“…Culture‐bound has effects on health and diseases. 17 One's culture has a strong influence on a person's thoughts, emotions, and behavior, for example with present anxiety and somatic symptoms, 16 a longstanding suppressed anger, 14 loss of appetite, insomnia, listlessness, or social withdrawal. 13 In westernized societies, however, depression is a dominant culture‐bound syndrome.…”

“…In a study by Zegelin, 53 to be bound to a place is referred to as local confinement where people remain in one place and need help in transferring (to/in the bed or the wheelchair). The experiences of local confinement are a loss of power and control within the own four walls, and the bed has become a “public workplace.” To be bound to a culture strongly influences emotions and behavior, therefore health care providers and nurses need to understand and achieve culturally competent interventions in people with mental health issues 14,16,17 . In nursing, the expression to be time‐bound relates to tasks that cannot be postponed, such as personal care (e.g., bathing, dressing, eating).…”

Background In the COVID‐19 pandemic, many people experienced temporal boundedness in different ways (e.g., home, country, persons, and rules). However, being bound is also a permanent experience for chronically ill or handicapped people with sometimes serious consequences. To be able to recognize the phenomenon, a clear definition is necessary. In the literature, though, boundedness shows up as a very multifaceted phenomenon. Objectives Exploring and conceptualizing the phenomenon of boundedness taking into account the various forms and the consequences for nursing. Methods A scoping review using the framework of Arksey and O'Malley and the PRISMA statement (PRISMA‐ScR) to verify the fullness of the review. Data Sources Online dictionaries and theoretical and empirical publications in CINAHL, Medline via PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Scopus, WISO. A total of 34 sources were included. Results Boundedness as a contextual concept is ambiguous. There are three basic causes: an acquired condition, personal obligations, arranged conditions, two principal courses: enduring and temporary, and seven types of being bound: to one or more person(s), to a place/position, to/in an object, to thoughts/opinions, to activities, to/in substances and to time. Examples of types are bedbound, culture‐bound, homebound, time‐bound, wheelchair‐bound and are particularly relevant for care. The consequences are manifold, physically, as well as mentally, and socially. Conclusion To reduce or avoid the burdens caused by boundedness, the concept must be implemented in nursing education and nursing practice. To this end, nursing research must further specify the types of boundedness in concept analyses and develop suitable interventions.
