The One

Incorporating caring behaviors into clinical experiences is essential and measuring this can be challenging. Simulated clinical experiences (SCEs) provide an ideal opportunity. The purpose of this research was to develop and pilot test a Caring tool© to assess roach’s six caring behaviors during simulation experiences with advanced practice nursing (APN) students in a family nurse practitioner program. This tool was pilot tested using repeated measures during four SCEs involving 26 to 57 students each time. The internal consistency reliability of this instrument over time was .91. Better evaluation of SCEs using instruments, such as the one described in this study, can promote caring behaviors, as well as strong clinical skills.
