Abstract

This model testing correlational study was designed to specify a model of predictors of the attitudinal component of professional nurse autonomy and to test three carative factors embedded in Watson's Theory of Transpersonal Caring. The carative factors tested were: transpersonal teaching-learning, sensitivity to self and others, and creative problem solving process. These factors were operationalized as perceptions of instructor caring, self-esteem and perceived clinical competence.
