Background: Nursing instructors' perceptions of caring play a significant role in nursing students' learning to care and think like nurses. Aim: This research assessed nursing students' perceptions of nursing instructors' caring behaviors. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 420 nursing students. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Nursing Students' Perceptions of Instructor Caring Scale (NSPIC-TR). The data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0, employing number, percentage, mean, and appropriate statistical tests. Results: 29.3% of the students were first-year, 76.2% were female, 99% were single, 92.3% satisfaction with being nursing students, and 84.8% reported using Watson's Theory of Human Caring (THC) in both theoretical classes and clinical practice. The overall mean score of the NSPIC-TR was 4.38±1.179 out of six. Among the subscales, the Healing Learning Environment had the highest mean score, whereas the Perceived Control over Flexibility subscale had the lowest mean score. Conclusions: Nursing students generally perceive the caring behaviors of instructors positively. It found that the students who used Watson's THC in both class and practice had a more positive perception of instructors caring. It may be recommended that person-centered care theories, such as Watson's THC, be used in nursing education. |
