Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design. The sample size was 100 nurses who worked in medical-surgical wards at four hospitals in Gresik City, separated into 50 nurses for intervention group and 50 nurses for control group selected using cluster sampling. The caring behaviour approach was given to nurses in the intervention group and nurses in the control group performed their usual care as regulation in nursing care of each hospital. Data collection of nurses’ caring character variable used Caring Behaviour Inventory, consisting of: deference to others, assurance of human presence, positive connectedness, professional knowledge-skills, and attentiveness to others’ experience. Data analysis used paired t-test and independent t-test at significant level α ≤ 0.05.
Results: The results of the paired t-test statistical test obtained ρ-value= 0.000, which means that there was a significant
influence of the training and mentoring of the caring behaviour approach on increasing caring behaviour character of nurses in four Gresik City Regional Hospital.
