title: Relationship between nurse caring and patient satisfaction.
abstract: A correlational study examined patients' (n = 335) reports of nurse caring and satisfaction with nursing care, using the Caring Behaviors Inventory and Patient Satisfaction Instrument. A strong, positive correlation (r = 0.78, p < .001, R2 = 61.46%) was found. The outcomes of this study have important implications for adult health nurses.
