Comparative Study
Perceptions of inpatients and nurses towards the importance of nurses' caring behaviours in rehabilitation: A comparative study.
This study was conducted to describe and compare nurses' and inpatients' perceptions of caring attitudes and behaviours in rehabilitation. ⋯ Results show that patients and nurses value clinical aspects of care, which is the visible aspect of care. The Caring Nurse Patient Inventory-23 is a reliable instrument to measure the nurses' and patients' perception of caring behaviours in rehabilitation.
