“…The results of the reviewed articles revealed a focus on instrumental care ( professional knowledge and skill and assurance of human presence dimensions). These findings are congruent with similar studies in which the CBI has been used with nursing students (Labrague et al, ). The emphasis on instrumental care identified in this review could be explained in a task‐oriented model.…”

Aim To describe the nature of care received by patients measured through the Caring Behaviours Inventory. Background Professional nursing practice combines two dimensions of caring: instrumental care and expressive care. Instrumental care focuses on physical health needs, in terms of efficiency and employs interventions based on evidence. Expressive care is patient‐centred and based on the interpersonal relationship. It requires caring attitudes that include respect, kindness, sensitivity and patience. The Caring Behaviours Inventory is a tool designed to assess the care expressed through the behaviours nurses perform, contextualised within the Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring. Methods A systematic review following PRISMA recommendations. Scopus, PubMed and CINAHL databases were consulted using the keywords “Caring Behaviours Inventory” AND “Nursing”. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool was used for the quality appraisal. A conceptual analysis and a thematic synthesis were performed for data extraction. Results 11 articles were selected. Three categories were identified: nature of caring, congruence between perceived care by patients and nurses, and factors associated with the expression of care. Discussion An emphasis on care of an instrumental nature was identified. The perception of patients differs from that of nurses, patients perceive a lower level of expressive caring than the one nurses believe to deliver. Caring behaviours are affected by the working environment, nurses' emotional intelligence and coping skills, and socio‐demographic characteristics. Conclusion This paper described the findings of previous research regarding the nature of care that is transmitted and received in clinical practice. Results highlight an emphasis on the instrumental aspect of the nursing care according to the patients' perception. Relevance to clinical practice Findings summarised in this review could contribute to a better understanding of the nursing care. Results reported in this paper could also help to improve the quality of care delivered by nurses as well as patient‐centeredness.

“…Nurses in the healthcare system have a key role in proving patient‐centred care, which is a dynamic process between patient and nurse that occurs in various care settings (Ghane & Esmaeili, ; Cheraghi, Esmaeili, & Salsali, ; Ross, Tod, & Clarke, ). To achieve patient‐centred care, proper understanding and knowledge of care providers (nurses, students and experts) is essential and therefore the views of these people are very important in defining and understanding patient‐centred care (Bramley & Matiti ; Fayanju et al, ; Labrague et al, ).…”

AimThis study aimed to explain the understanding of nursing students from the concept of patient‐centred care.DesignThis is an explorative and descriptive‐qualitative design.MethodsThe participants consisted of 15 nursing students who were selected through purposeful sampling, and data were collected through in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews and analysed using a qualitative content analysis.ResultsData analysis led to the identification of three categories including the following: the inevitability of patient‐centred care, the patient‐centredness in comprehensive care and the importance of nursing process in patient‐centred care. Introducing students to the concept of patient‐centred care and how it can be achieved seems necessary during nursing education. Introducing a module on patient‐centred care to the nursing curriculum is suggested to familiarize students with this concept.

“…Caring is both universal and culturally specific (Leininger, ). The cultural and educational context may influence caring comprehension (Labrague et al, ). Fostering caring research is fundamental to preserve interrelatedness between nursing education and practice (Hills & Watson, ; Smith, Turkel, & Wolf, ).…”

“…Although caring has sometimes been described as an elusive concept, it can be manifested through measurable behaviours (Watson, 2009). In particular, it has been described as instrumental (the "doing" of care) and expressive, through patient-centred interactions (Loke, Lee, Lee, & Mohd Noor, 2015;Labrague et al, 2015), in accordance with the "being" and "doing" dimensions of caring defined by Swanson (1993). Caring should be a core value in nursing education (Hills & Watson, 2011) to achieve a more humanistic nursing curriculum (Brown, 2011).…”

Aim and objective To test the psychometric properties of the nursing students' version of the 24‐item Caring Behaviours Inventory. Background Caring is at the heart of nursing and should also be a core value in nursing education. Caring can be manifested through measurable behaviours. The Caring Behaviors Inventory is a valid and reliable measure of nurses' caring behaviours in clinical settings. It has already been used among nursing students, but it needs more psychometric testing. Design Cross‐sectional validation study. Method The questionnaire was filled in by 300 undergraduate nursing students at two Italian universities in May 2016. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted using Mplus maximum likelihood with GEOMIN oblique rotation. A multifaceted approach was used to evaluate the model fit. The STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies was followed. Results Four dimensions were identified: “being with,” “doing with competence,” “responding to individual needs” and “providing effective care.” Adequate fit indices and high reliability of the factors were found. Correlations between factors were positive and significant. Conclusion This study makes it possible to use the same tool to compare the caring practices perceived by students, nurses and patients. Further studies with bigger samples could be stratified to investigate the associations between caring levels and student characteristics. The Caring Behaviors Inventory can be used to call attention to caring in nursing education, helping to make this concept less elusive. Relevance to clinical practice The effective self‐assessment of nursing students' caring behaviours offers opportunities for reflection on their caring practice. This could improve the caring level of their behaviours in clinical practice and help them to become caring nurses in the future.
