Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

Newly graduated nurses face challenges transitioning to clinical practice.
Understanding their perceptions of professional competencies and caring behaviors is crucial for effective support.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore newly graduated nurses' perceptions of professional competencies and caring behaviors.
To identify factors influencing these perceptions during the transition to clinical practice.

Main Methods:

A descriptive, relational cross-sectional study using online surveys.
Data collected from 249 newly graduated nurses using the Competency Inventory of Nursing Students (CINS) and Caring Behaviors Inventory-30 (CBI-30).
Ordinal logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with caring perception.

Main Results:

Competency scores were highest in 'Caring' and lowest in 'Clinical Biomedical Science' and 'General Clinical Skills'.
Caring perception was highest in 'Professional Knowledge and Attitude'.
A moderate positive correlation existed between competency and caring scores; higher competency was independently associated with higher caring perception.

Conclusions:

Newly graduated nurses feel confident in psychological/emotional support but lack clinical judgment and technical skills.
Simulation-based training, structured orientation, and mentorship are recommended to enhance clinical readiness.
Integrating competency-based and caring-focused educational strategies into nursing curricula is vital for new graduates.
