Faculty-student interactions and the student-perceived climate for caring.
The identification of caring as a core value for nursing practice elaborates the need to investigate the educational processes through which caring can be learned by those who will assume primary caregiver roles. Using qualitative inquiry, this study was conducted to describe a climate for caring as perceived by 10 junior nursing students and to identify faculty behaviors and faculty-student interactional episodes through which these students experience a climate for caring. Consistent with one researcher's conceptualization of the components of a moral education, the findings from this study suggest that modeling, dialogue, practice, and confirmation are the faculty-student interactional processes through which these students experienced a climate for caring.
