Accordingly, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between nurse caring behaviors from patients’ perspectives and patient satisfaction.

The subjects were selected by quota sampling method. The data collection instruments were Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI) and Patient Satisfaction Instrument (PSI).
Results
The study findings showed that, there were significant correlations between caring behaviors including respectfulness to others, assurance of human presence, positive connectedness, professional knowledge & skill, attentiveness to other's experience and patient satisfaction including Trust, Patient education and Technical- Professional care. Moreover, there was a strong, positive correlation between all variables of the nurse caring behaviors and patient satisfaction (r=0.72, P=0.000).
Conclusion
