<![CDATA[Background: Caring is the essence of nursing practice. Nurses’ caring behaviors underpin comprehensive patient care and influence service quality. Previous studies have identified workload and motivation as factors affecting caring behavior. Objective: To examine the relationship between workload, motivation, and caring behavior among nurses at Pomalaa Health Center. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted from 21–28 April 2022 among all 45 nurses at Pomalaa Health Center. Data on workload, motivation, and caring behavior were collected via validated questionnaires. Associations were analyzed using the Chi-square test, with significance set at p<0.05.. Results: Among 45 participants, 97.8% reported a low workload, and 93.3% reported moderate motivation. Caring behavior was observed in 64.4% of nurses. No statistically significant associations were found between workload and caring behavior (p=0.356), nor between motivation and caring behavior (p=0.285). Conclusion: In this sample, neither workload nor motivation was significantly related to nurses’ caring behavior. Further research should explore additional individual, psychological, and organizational factors influencing caring behaviors in primary healthcare settings.]]>
