What is it about?
In our study, we looked at what affects how nursing students in internship programs show caring behavior. We found that things like their grades, personality traits, motivation, and how much work they have to do all play a role. Surprisingly, the amount of work they have was the most important factor. This means that students might need more support when they have a heavy workload during their nursing internships. We also think that it's important to help students get used to the internship environment from the beginning. Teachers who work with them during internships can make a big difference in how caring students become.
