| description | Caring is an essence and central focus in nursing and become an important element in
delivering a good nursing care to patients. The purpose of this study was to identify the
relationship between gender and patients' perception of important nurse caring
behaviour at adult medical wards in HUSM. Watson's theory of human ~ring was used
as a theoretical framework for this study. The Caring Behaviours Assessment instrument
is a 63 items questionnaire and used a Likert-type summation scale. Data was collected
using self-administered questionnaire. The response rate was 51.20%. The results of the
study revealed that, "check my condition very closely" (m = 4.40} as the single most
important behaviour by the nurses to indicate a sense of caring by the patients. The
finding of this study also revealed Human Needs Assistance (m =4.18} as the most
important subscale and this correlates with the results of other similar studies using the
CBA tool. However, this study showed no association between gender and their
perception towards nurse caring behaviour p= 0.792 which the value of p> 0.05. Similar
with several previous studies, respondents considered technical competence to be the
most important nurse caring behaviour, which further the emphasizes the notion of
caring as a moral stance integral to all interactions with patients. |
