Examining the Relationship Between Nurses' Professional Competence and Caring Behaviors

Öz

Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses' professional competence levels and their care behaviors. Method: Designed as a descriptive and correlational study, data were collected from 260 nurses working in a public hospital in Turkey. Data collection tools included the "Holistic Nursing Competence Scale" and the "Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (CBI-24)." Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients were used in the analysis. Results: The findings revealed a significant and positive correlation between nurses’ professional competence and care behaviors (r = 0.711; p < .001). Additionally, strong intercorrelations were found among the sub-dimensions of both scales. Competencies related to ethics, leadership, and decision-making were closely associated with caring dimensions such as respect, assurance, and commitment. Conclusion: The results highlight that nursing care quality is not solely dependent on technical skills, but also relies on multidimensional competencies such as ethical sensitivity, leadership, and collaboration. It is recommended that undergraduate and in-service training programs be restructured to support holistic professional development, and that organizational support systems be enhanced.
