| Abstract | ||
| Background: Caring behaviors ensure the well-being of patients and maintain their motivational stability which makes them of great importance in nursing. However, nursing education is under great pressure to prepare students to work with vulnerable populations, so nursing educators need to be well-prepared during the educational process and need to refocus attention on caring behaviors and factors affecting them. Objective: Assessing caring behaviors and the factors influencing them from nursing students’ perspectives. Settings: The study was conducted at the Technical Nursing Police Institute in Alexandria. Subjects: Comprised of nursing students enrolled in the fourth and fifth academic year during the second semester of 2019-2020. Tools: two tools were used. Tool one: “Caring Behavior Assessment Scale (CBAS) ". Tool two: “Factors Influencing Caring Behaviors from Nursing Students’ perspectives ". Results: 66.0% of the nursing students thought that caring behaviors are highly important and 96.7% of them acknowledged the factors influencing caring behaviors. Conclusion: There is no doubt that caring behaviors are very important in the nursing profession since they are highly effective in maintaining patients' motivational balance throughout their recovery journey. However, there are numerous factors affecting them, whether positively or negatively. These factors can be hospital-related, personal, institutional, professional or patient-related and some are more influential than others. Recommendations: A study about patients’ satisfaction regarding nursing students’ caring behaviors and a workshop to educate nursing students about caring behaviors should be conducted and the present study should be replicated from patients' perspective. | ||
