Popis: Background: This pilot study was undertaken to determine whether an educational intervention called Reigniting the Spirit of Caring (RSC) from Creative Healthcare Management would enhance perceptions of caring behaviors among nurses. A pretest/posttest within-subjects research design was used to evaluate the educational intervention. Methods: Investigators used the licensed RSC program as the educational intervention. This study included 36 registered nurses employed in one Midwestern hospital. Results: Statistical differences were found in the pretest and posttest measurement of nurses’ perceptions of caring behaviors. Conclusion: The RSC program can be used as an effective educational intervention to increase nurses’ perceptions of caring, and the Caring Assessment for the Caregiver tool can be used as an effective tool to measure nurses’ perceptions of caring behaviors.
