Concept introduction:
Territoriality is the need for gaining, maintaining, and defending one person’s right to have space. It is very important as it provides people with a sense of identity, security, privacy, and control. During the interpersonal interactions, people would usually maintain a varying degree of distances with each other depending on their situation, culture, and relationship nature. In order to provide caregiving, the nurses frequently move into the personal and territory spaces of the patient.
