PURPOSE
The study was done to investigate the mediating effects of voice behavior on the relationships between empathy and fairness and intention in helping behavior of nursing students.
METHODS
A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure empathy, fairness, voice behavior and intention in helping behavior. During November 2018, data were collected from 128 nursing students in D and G cities. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program.
RESULTS
Empathy, fairness and voice behavior were positively correlated with intention in helping behavior of participants and voice behavior was positively correlated with empathy, fairness and intention in helping behavior of participants respectively. Also, voice behavior had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between empathy, fairness and intention in helping behavior.
CONCLUSION
Findings indicate that empathy and fairness are important factors related to the intention in helping behavior of nursing students. It is also expected that voice behavior can further promote the intention in helping behavior of nursing students.
