Nurse caregiving behaviors are critical to patient satisfaction, quality of care, and return intentions, yet validated instruments in Persian are lacking. This study aimed to translate and psychometrically evaluate the caregiver version of the Nurse Caring Behavior Scale into the Persian language. <b>Methods:</b> This study employed a cross-sectional design with psychometric validation methods including exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The participants were 450 parents of hospitalized children, 15 nursing faculty, and 8 pediatric head nurses who were selected in various phases of the study. The caregiver version of the Nurse Caring Behavior Scale was translated into the Persian language via a forward-backward process. The psychometric evaluation encompassed three phases: face validity, content validity, and construct validity.
