Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the perceptions of caring among student nurses and how these develop throughout the course of a programme of pre-registration nurse education. A 35-item version of the caring dimensions inventory was administered to a cohort of nursing students in a department of nursing in Scotland at entry to the programme, after 12 months and after 24 months on the programme. Caring was largely perceived through a technical dimension, demonstrated by factor analysis, but other dimensions such as intimacy, support and unnecessary and inappropriate aspects of nursing also became apparent as students progressed through the programme.

The dimensions underlying the perceptions of caring among nurses were investigated using the Edinburgh Caring Dimensions Inventory, and two smaller dimensions were identified that were both related to self-giving, and it is postulated that these refer to appropriate and inappropriate self- Giving in nursing.
