Caring is the core and essence of the nursing profession. Nurse educators, are in a key position to role model for perspective nurses the role of caring while including caring as a vital component in a nursing curriculum.
This paper is a report on students' perceptions of instructors' caring behavior in four countries: India, Greece, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
This study utilized a quantitative, cross-sectional, comparative approach. A total of 450 nursing students participated with an almost equal nursing student frequency distribution. The main instrument used in this study was the Nursing Students' Perceptions of Instructor Caring (NSPIC). The study was conducted during the months of September 2013 to January 2014. Descriptive statistics, correlations analysis, linear regression model and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data collected.
The highest rated subscale in the NSPIC was "instills confidence through caring" (M=4.268, SD=0.964), while the lowest ranked subscale was for the subscale "Control versus flexibility" (M=3.609, SD=1.076). No significant correlations were found between the NSPIC scale and gender (F=0.060, p=0.807), age (F=3.220, p=0.073), educational level (F=0.100, p=0.752) and family status of students (F=1.417, p=0.235), except the country of origin (F=3.703, p=0.012, η(2)=0.024).
With this study as an initial investigation into ascertaining nursing instructors caring focused on a cross-country approach, nurse educators can utilize this information to better portray their role as a nurse educator when being perceived by their nursing students.
关怀是护理专业的核心与精髓。护理教育工作者在为未来护士树立关怀榜样以及将关怀作为护理课程的重要组成部分方面，处于关键地位。
本文报告了印度、希腊、尼日利亚和菲律宾四个国家的学生对教师关怀行为的看法。
本研究采用定量、横断面、比较性方法。共有450名护理专业学生参与，护理专业学生的频率分布几乎相等。本研究使用的主要工具是《护理专业学生对教师关怀的认知》（NSPIC）。该研究于2013年9月至2014年1月期间进行。使用描述性统计、相关性分析、线性回归模型和单因素方差分析（ANOVA）对收集到的数据进行分析。
NSPIC中评分最高的子量表是“通过关怀灌输信心”（M = 4.268，SD = 0.964），而排名最低的子量表是“控制与灵活性”子量表（M = 3.609，SD = 1.076）。除了原籍国（F = 3.703，p = 0.012，η(2)=0.024）外，未发现NSPIC量表与学生的性别（F = 0.060，p = 0.807）、年龄（F = 3.220，p = 0.073）、教育水平（F = 0.100，p = 0.752）和家庭状况（F = 1.417，p = 0.235）之间存在显著相关性。
作为一项以跨国方式确定护理教师关怀情况的初步调查，本研究可为护理教育工作者在被护理专业学生认知时更好地展现其作为护理教育者的角色提供参考。
