Research environment was the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery in Mashhad. Data collection method was semi-structured interviews for thirty to ninety minutes and sampling continued until data saturation. Interviews were conducted in Persian language and they were immediately transcribed and analyzed using MAXDA10 software. The text of interviews was reviewed several times. First, open codes were extracted, and after several reviews based on similarity in meaning, they were classified into subcategories and finally, similar subcategories were placed in main classes based on meaning. Results: Results of this study led to the identification of four themes: 1, ethical and religious commitment, 2, development of knowing and cultural sensitivity, 3, soft assertion, 4, clear describing of objectives, expectations, and educational rules for students. Conclusion: Results of this study showed that the cultural and religious background of instructors affects their interaction with students. Instructors' commitment and compliance to values in interacting with students and other educational colleagues has an origin beyond ethical and human subjects and it is originated from their religious education and training.
A model of professional nurse caring: nursing students' experience
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 1998
A model of professional nurse caring: nursing students' experience Research into caring from the perspective of nursing students is poorly documented. This paper presents a study which described the construct of caring as experienced by students in pre-registration programmes at two universities in New South Wales, Australia. Qualitative data were collected using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. From the analysis of the data a model of professional nurse caring from the student's perspective was created. In this model, compassion, as the core of caring is actualized in the students' nursing of patients by communicating, providing comfort, being competent, being committed, having conscience, being confident and being courageous. Communication is not only an actualization of this caring but constitutes an important medium for the expression of caring actions.
Nursing as a caring practice from a phenomenological perspective
Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 2005
Nursing as a caring practice from a phenomenological perspective Nursing is frequently described as a caring practice. What this concept means may be less clear. This paper considers nursing as a caring practice in three steps. First, the concept of practice based on Taylor's and MacIntyre's philosophical definitions of the term is described. Secondly, numerous notions of caring are presented; the call from some nurse researchers for quantification of the concept and why this is problematic is discussed; and an exposition of caring from a phenomenological perspective is provided. Finally, the notions of practice and caring are joined, and the concept of a caring practice is presented. Nursing as a public caring practice is illustrated with examples from an interpretive phenomenological study. In conclusion, it is claimed that a phenomenological view of caring combined with a comprehensive definition of practice is well suited to nursing, and allows for a description of nurses' caring practices from both a nursing and patient perspective.

Methods:In the study, no sample was selected, 205 students who accepted to participate voluntarily were included in the study. Data were collected by using the personal information form and Caring Assessment Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS. Results:The mean total score of the Caring Assessment Questionnaire was found 270.65±50.55. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found0.96. When the total mean score of the scale was compared with the personal characteristics of the students, no statistically significant difference was found between gender, working experience, hospitalization experience, caregiving experience status and negative experiences during the care process. However, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the grades, care-taking experience and opinions that care is the primary duty of the nurse. Also a statistically significant difference was found between all subscales and the students who think that nursing care is the primary duty.

Empirical Phenomenological Study on Caring in Nursing. The Prerequisites for an Ethics of Care
International Journal of Nursing, 2024
To act well at the nursing level it is essential to act well at the caring level. Good nursing care practice cannot be separated from well-done nursing practice. This reference to the good in referring to the appropriateness of care in general, and nursing in particular, is the object subjected to clarification in the research. Caring is a multidimensional activity, in which thought, feeling and competent action are mutually integrated. This multidimensionality is essential for good caring to be practiced. From the narratives of the care practice collected, ethically significant actions emerge, which explain how this good is expressed in the concrete action of the nurse towards the patient, through an intentionality in acting in relation to the history of the individual patient. The research is methodologically structured on two dimensions: the phenomenological and the empirical one. The results obtained lay the foundations for the search for an ethics of care.

Examining of Caring In Traditional and Non-traditional Nursing Students
International Journal of Nursing & Clinical Practices, 2015
Objectives: The purpose of this study examined traditional and non-traditional nursing students to determine if there are significant differences in caring. Methods: A descriptive comparative design was conducted using a convenience sampling using nursing students in an associate degree nursing program in northeastern Ohio, USA. A demographic survey and the Caring Efficacy Scale (CES) were given to the students to complete. Data was analyzed to determine the measures of central tendency including frequencies, means, and standard deviation (SD). Independent t-tests were used for the mean responses and stand deviations utilized to measure the dispersion of the data. The total number of students participating was 249. Results: Traditional students were identified as 29.7% of the total while the non-traditional students were 70.3% of the group. The total scores for the CES of the traditional students were 157.24 with a SD of 13.31 and non-traditional students' total scores were 158.63 with a SD of 14.49. Results indicated that there were no significant differences identified between the two groups, including those students who had previous healthcare experience. Conclusions: Despite the findings, nurse educators must analyze the types of student who are entering nursing programs while assessing for those with caring as a part of their personality and interest for joining nursing. Without caring, patient outcomes may be affected. The results of this study indicated that caring, as the key to the nursing profession, is a needed attribute for those entering and pursuing care for individuals they are assigned to nurse.
