Abstract
PURPOSE
This study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' professional attitudes and caring behaviors.
DESIGN AND METHODS
The research is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study. The study was conducted with 202 nursing students. The participation rate was 95%.
FINDINGS
The total Instrument of Professional Attitude for Student Nurses mean score was 106.708 ± 20.24 and the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 mean score of the nursing students was 5.23 ± 0.88. A positive weak correlation was found between total Instrument of Professional Attitude for Student Nurses scores and sub-dimension scores, and Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 total scores of nursing students (p < .05).
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
The present study has demonstrated that the professional attitudes of students positively affect caring behaviors.
