<![CDATA[Introduction: Patient safety is a primary focus in patient-centered care. Patient safety can be effectively implemented if nurses demonstrate a strong caring attitude. This study aims to determine the relationship between nurses’ caring behavior and patient safety implementation in inpatient care. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population comprised all nurses working in the inpatient wards of Dr. Soegiri General Hospital Lamongan. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in 32 respondents. The instruments used were a caring questionnaire based on the Caring Behavior Inventory-24 (CBI-24) and a patient safety implementation questionnaire referring to the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG). Data analysis used the contingency coefficient test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents demonstrated good caring behavior (68.8%, n = 22) and good patient safety practices (75.0%, n = 21). Bivariate analysis using the chi-square and contingency coefficient tests confirmed a significant relationship, showing a p-value of 0.033 and a contingency coefficient (C) of 0.395. This indicates a moderate positive correlation between these variables. Conclusions: The implementation of patient safety is associated with nurses’ caring behaviors.]]>
