| Popis: |
Minimal cross-national comparisons of nurse caring behaviors are available. A descriptive correlational study was conducted to describe and compare caring behaviors between nurses in Ireland (n = 74) and the United States (US) (n = 74). Significant differences were found between the samples on both educational background and years of nursing experience. US nurses had higher mean caring behavior scores compared to Irish nurses. However, when controlling for the two background variables, the difference was not statistically significant. This study is the first to compare nurses’ caring behaviors in these two countries. The findings have research, education, and practice implications. |
