Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Communication Skills Scale	through study completion, an average of 1 year	It was developed by Korkut in order to understand how individuals evaluate their communication skills. The scale, which is a five-point Likert type, consists of 25 statements. The scale has options never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), often (3), and always (4). The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0, and the maximum score is 100. As the scores obtained from the scale increase, it means that individuals evaluate their communication skills positively. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.80. In this study, α=0.94 of the scale was found.
Caring Behaviors Scale-30	through study completion, an average of 1 year	Caring Behaviors Inventory-30: Wolf et al. In 1994, he evaluated patient care from a philosophical and ethical point of view (136). The scale consists of 30 items and consists of three sub-dimensions: respect for others, professional knowledge and attitude, and accessibility by the individual. The 6 Likert-type scales have options never (1), rarely (2), sometimes (3), usually (4), almost always (5), and always (6). The minimum score that can be obtained from the total of the scale is 30, and the maximum score is 180. The minimum score that can be obtained from each sub-dimension of the scale is 10, and the maximum score is 60. As the sub-dimension and total scale score increase, the care perception of patients and/or caregivers increases positively.
