Objective:To determine the patients’ perceptions of the importance of caring behaviors. Design: This was a cross-sectional study. In which Caring behaviors were categorized in six subscales (accessibility, trusting relationship, anticipation, comforting, monitoring and following, explaining and facilitating) and studied through sorting cards. Sample: 95 patients were selected with consecutive sampling method. Results: Patients perceived technical caring behaviors more important than affective ones. Male patients perceived accessibility to nurses of more importance than female patients (p=0.04). In addition patients with high school and diploma education pointed monitoring and following of more importance than those with primary education (p=0.04). Conclusion: As patients perceived technical caring behaviors more important than affective ones, so it is recommended that nurses pay more attention to technical behaviors.
