dc.description.abstractAbstract: The purposes of this research study were to examine perioperative patients’ perceptions towards perioperative nurses’ caring behaviors at Ramathibodi Hospital and to compare the mean scores of perioperative patients’ perceptions towards perioperative nurses’ caring behaviors among differences in patients’ gender, age, career, income,and perioperative experiences. One hundred and sixty patients with short stay visits were approached from five operative rooms at Ramathibodi Hospital. ll patients were asked to respond to questionnaire developed by Swanson’s Caring ProfessionalScale and translated into Thai language by Kusuma Piyasiripan. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used for analysis. Results showed that all patients from all operative rooms perceived perioperative nurses’ caring behaviorsat a high level. However, there were no differences among perioperative patients’ perceptions towards perioperative nurses’ caring behaviors according to gender, age, career, income, and perioperative experiences. The findings suggested that thedirectors of the operative rooms should promote perioperative nurses to maintain their caring behaviors at a high level and develop a system to continuously assess caring behaviors for perioperative nurses for sustaining standards of care quality of operative nursing services.en_US
