To collected data used from the questionnaires of meta-memory, positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions and revised form of caring behavior of nurses. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and multiple regression with enter model in SPSS version 19 software.
Results: The results showed that the mean of meta-memory was (63.705±13.696), positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions was (45.727±12.908) and caring behavior was (158.437±33.668) in nurses. Also, meta-memory (r=0.531) and positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions (r=0.447) and all three dimensions of positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions include confidence in extinguishing perseverative thoughts and emotions (r=0.407), confidence in interpreting own emotions as cues, restraining from immediate reaction and mind setting for problem solving (0.432) and confidence in setting flexible and feasible hierarchies of goals (0.484) had a positive and significant relationship with caring behavior of nurses (P<0.001). In addition, meta-memory, positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions could explain 37.4 percent and dimensions of positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions could predict 25.6 percent of variance of caring behavior of nurses (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Based on the results, caring behavior of nurses can be improved by improving the meta-memory and positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions.Therefore health policymakers and hospital planners can via improving the meta-memory, positive meta-cognitions and meta-emotions promoting the caring behavior of nurses. |
