Caring is considered as the essence of nursing and is the basic factor that distinguishes between nurses and other health professions. The literature is rich of previous studies that focused on perceptions of nurses toward nurse caring behaviors, but less studywas applied in pediatric nurses in different settings. Aim of the study:evaluate the effect of application of Watson caring theory for nurses in pediatric critical care unit. Method(s): A convenience sample of 70 nurses of Pediatric Critical Care Unit in El-Menoufya University Hospital and educational hospital in ShebenElkom.were completed the demographics questionnaire, and the Caring Behavior Assessment (CBA) questionnaire,medical record to collect medical data regarding children characteristics such as age and diagnosis, Interviewing questionnaire for nurses regarding their barrier to less interest of comfort behavior such as doing doctor order, Shortage of nursing staff, Large number of patients, Heavy workloads, Secretarial jobs for nurses and Emotional stress. Results: more thantwothirds of nurses in study group and majority of control group had age less than 30 years, there were highly statistically significant difference related to mean scores for Caring Behavior Assessment (CBA) as rated by nurses in pretest (1.4750 to 2.0750) than in posttest (3.5 to 4.55). Also, near to two-thirds (64.3%) of the nurses stated that doing doctor order act as a barrier to apply this theory. In addition, there were a statistical significance difference between educational qualifications of nurses and a Supportive\ protective\corrective environment subscale with mean score for master degree 57.0000, also between years of experiences and human needs assistance. Conclusion: Program instructions for all nurses to apply Watson Caring theory for children in pediatric critical care unit were successful and effective and this study provided evidence for application of this theory for different departments in all settings. Recommendations: It was recommended that In-service training programs for nurses about caring behavior and its different areas, with special emphasis on communication are needed to improve their own behaviors in all aspects of the caring behaviors for all health care settings. Motivating hospital authorities to recruit more nurses, then, the nurses would be able to have more care that is direct. Consequently, the amount and the quality of nurse-child communication and opportunities for patient education would increase, this in turn improve child's outcome.

“…Work left undone involves instrumental care activities, such as oral care, mobility/turning, preventative activities, education of patients and information (Sasso et al., ). These findings are mirrored internationally, with under‐resourced countries faring much worse in general (Suliman, Welmann, Omer, & Thomas, ). In Italy, the average nurse/patient ratio is lower than the average European ratio; therefore, the extent of activities left undone is much higher than expected and emerging data confirm this (Sasso et al., ).…”

“…However, the lack of professional caring of nurses leads to reduced wellbeing and the health of the patients. Therefore, nurses caring behaviors can influence patient satisfaction and perceived quality of nursing care [4,5]. A study showed that approximately 10-30% of general hospital nurses rated the quality of care on their ward as fair/poor and up to 50% felt that the quality of patient care had deteriorated [6].…”

Background: Nursing care behavior and nurse's perception of effective care behavior is an act, conduct, and mannerism enacted by professional nurses that convey concern, safety, and attention to the patient. Behavior associated with caring has a paramount role in linking nursing interaction to the client in experiences but, the concept is ambiguous and elusive toward different scholars to reach on common understanding. Only a few studies have been done on the caring behavior and associated factors globally, and no study was done in this study area. Therefore; the purpose of this study was to assess caring behavior and its associated factors among nurses working in Jimma University specialized hospital, southwest Ethiopia. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted on a sample of 224 nurses working in Jimma university specialized hospital from March 20-April 20, 2019. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics including frequency table, mean, standard deviation and percentage were employed. Bivariate and multiple linear regression analysis was used with regression coefficient (β), coefficient of the determinant (R 2), CI 95% and p < 0.05 were used for statistical significance. Results: The overall proportion of nurses caring behavior was 80.3% which was mostly measured in terms of professional-technical (82.9%) and psychosocial (81.3%) dimension. Job satisfaction as personal satisfaction (beta = 1.12, p = 0.00), professional satisfaction, (beta = 1.07, p = 0.00), joint participation in caring process (beta = 0.58, p = 0.00,) satisfaction with nurse management (beta = 0.85, p = 00) were significantly associated with caring behavior. Conclusion: The proportion of nurses who had a high perception of caring behavior was found to be lower. Thus, all predictors have their own effect on enhancing job satisfaction, improving and creating conducive management and working environment to increase caring behavior. Further comparative studies involving multidisciplinary and patient point of view were recommended.
