Introduction: Nurses' caring behaviours determine the quality of nursing services. Nurses' emotions influence their behaviours. Emotion regulation can affect nurses' caring performance. This study was conducted to determine the effect of emotion regulation skills on nurses' caring behaviours.
Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 50 nurses from Ziaian Hospital, Tehran, were selected based on the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, emotion regulation skills were presented in six sessions. The control group did not receive any trainings. Data collection tools were a demographic profile form and the Wolff Caring Behaviour Questionnaire, which were completed before and one month after the study. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential tests.
Results: There was no significant difference in demographic profiles of the two groups. Mean scores of caring behaviours in the intervention and control groups before the study were 149.26 ± 11.82 and 146.08 ± 10.70, respectively, with no significant difference. After the study, the values in intervention group reached 12.203 ± 11.9, showing a significant difference with both before the study and the control group (P < 0.001). In the control group, the score of caring behaviours after the study was 147.72 ± 11.14, with a significant difference between before the study and also the intervention group.
Conclusions: Emotion regulation skills would improve nurses' caring behaviours. Nurses who had higher skills in managing their emotions acted more professionally in challenging situations. Therefore, strengthening these skills is recommended for nurses professional development.
