The purpose of this research was to examine how well the empirical data fit the nursing students’ caring characteristic model. Data were collected from 411 third year and fourth- year nursing students during the academic year 2018 at threes government nursing educational institutes by using a 67 item self-report questionnaire Measuring caring characteristics with 1-5 rating scale. The questionnaire was tested for content validity by five experts and revealed the item objective congruence (IOC) between .60 and 1.00, item discrimination (r.) between .208 and .565 and the reliability (α) of .941. The data were analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis. The results revealed that the caring characteristics among nursing students consisted of seven main factors: 1. Understanding of human value and kindness 2. Instillation of faith-hope 3. Cultivation of sensitivity to one’s self feeling and to others 4. Establishing a helping relationship 5. Learning promotion 6. Provision for a supportive, protective, and or corrective mental, physical, societal, and spiritual environment 7. Assistance with gratification of human needs. Each of these indicators was consistent with the empirical data: χ2 = 15.99; p-value = .067; GFI = .989; AGFI = .967; NFI = .994; RMSEA = .049; RMR = .002; SRMR = .01; P-Value for Test of Close Fit = 1.00; CFI = .997. The standard weight of each main factor was between .78 and .95
