Abstract
Purpose: Although violence is a preventable phenomenon, whose negative effects
may be reduced, it should be analyzed with a holistic approach to determine its
possible effects on caring behaviors, which constitute the basis of the profession of
nursing. This study aims to reveal the reflections of the tendency to violence among
the nursing students on their caring behavior.
Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted within a convenient sample of 292
nursing students. Personal Informat ion Form, Tendency to Violence Scale, and the
Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI‐24) were used for data collection.
Findings: There was a negative and moderate relationship between the tendency to
violence and the scores obtained from the CBI‐24 and its subscales. Simple linear
regression analysis revealed that tendency to violence explained 10% and had a
significant effect on caring behaviors (β = −0.328, p < .001).
Practical Implications: Tendency to violence among the nursing students might be
determined before their graduation and the students with such tendencies might be
closely monitored and supported to reduce these tendencies.
