Psychometric testing of the Caring Behaviors Inventory for nursing students.

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 hidden curriculum in nursing education: a scoping study.

Context: The hidden curriculum is a learning dimension made up of culturally acquired, unintended lessons. Although nurse educators are not fully aware of it, through the hidden curriculum students are prepared for adult professional roles, internalising professional values and developing a professional identity. However, academic nursing education has paid relatively scarce attention to it.

Nursing profession and nurses' contribution to nursing education as seen through students' eyes: A qualitative study.

The behavior of clinical instructors, as observed by students, deeply influences their professional development. When instructors behave unprofessionally, they risk undermining the professional growth students gain from their clinical placement experience. Clinical instructors need to be aware of how their behavior can affect the students' learning process and the contributions they make to clinical nursing education.
