Care forms the basic core of nursing actions. Traditionally nurses have described the acts of administering to patients as care behaviors. Many nurses find it difficult to define these caring behaviors. It is important that nurses have insight into the specific behaviors that patients perceive to be most important. Several studies have examined and compared nurses' and patients' perceptions of effective care behaviors. The literature supports an incongruence of what nurses perceive and what patients perceive as effective. This study identifies and compares student nurses' and professional nurses' perceptions of effective caring behaviors. The Caring Assessment Report Evaluation Q-sort (CARE-Q) was used to obtain the data. The participants included senior baccalaureate nursing students (n = 30) at Thomas Jefferson University, College of Allied Health Sciences, and professional nurses (n = 30) with 1 or more years experience. The significance of the difference between the groups was tested using the Mann Whitney U test. Results indicate agreement between the students and the nurses in all categories except trusting relationship (p = .06). The ages within the groups varied from 21 to 47 years. The difference in ages between the nurses and the students is significant (p = .0002). Findings provide a better understanding of student nurse perceptions of caring behaviors and provide implications for further research for nurse educators.
关怀构成了护理行为的基本核心。传统上，护士将对患者的护理行为描述为关怀行为。许多护士发现很难定义这些关怀行为。护士深入了解患者认为最重要的具体行为非常重要。多项研究调查并比较了护士和患者对有效护理行为的看法。文献表明，护士所认为的有效行为与患者所认为的有效行为不一致。本研究识别并比较了实习护士和专业护士对有效关怀行为的看法。使用关怀评估报告评价Q分类法（CARE-Q）来获取数据。参与者包括托马斯·杰斐逊大学联合健康科学学院的本科护理专业高年级学生（n = 30）以及有1年或以上工作经验的专业护士（n = 30）。使用曼-惠特尼U检验来检验两组之间差异的显著性。结果表明，除了信任关系（p = 0.06）外，学生和护士在所有类别上都达成了一致。两组的年龄范围在21岁至47岁之间。护士和学生之间的年龄差异显著（p = 0.0002）。研究结果有助于更好地理解实习护士对关怀行为的看法，并为护士教育工作者的进一步研究提供启示。
