nurses (18 intervention groups and 18 control groups) were included as respondents. The study instrument was in
the form of observation sheets and questionnaires. Data analysis using paired t-test and independent t-test.
Results: The implementation of nurse caring behavior can reduce the patient's anxiety level and increase patient
satisfaction with hospital services. The increase in patient satisfaction with nursing services provided by nurses
before and after getting caring behavior training and mentoring was lower than the implementation of caring
behavior and nurse motivation before and after getting caring behavior training. Conclusion: The study shows
