<![CDATA[Nurse students must have caring behavior when providing services, but they have difficulty understanding the meaning and practice of caring behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the big five personality, self-efficacy, and social support from friends with the caring behavior of the nurse profession students. The design of this study was cross-sectional. The study population was all students of the nurse profession, Faculty of Nursing, Airlangga University in 2020. The sample size was 104 students who were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability, then analyzed using logistic regression test. The results showed a relationship between caring behavior and big five personality factors, especially extraversion personality p = 0.046, agreeableness p = 0.014, conscientiousness p = 0.005, self-efficacy p = 0.035, and social support from friends p = 0.003. Openness to experience (p = 0.368) and neuroticism (p = 0.373) were not related to caring behavior. It is recommended that educators provide more examples (role models) of how to behave in proper caring, so that students of the nurse profession can improve their caring behavior.
