However, there are insufficient research finding the relationship between nursing students self-care and level of caring behavior. Hence, this study aims to determine the self-care practices of third-year nursing students, the caring behaviors demonstrated by third-year nursing students as perceived by their patients, and the significance of the relationship between the self-care practices and caring behaviors of the third-year nursing students toward patient care. A correlational research design was utilized for this study. The data was gathered using the Mindful Self-Care Scale (MSCS) and the Filipino version of the Caring Behavior Inventory (CBI-16-FIL). Weighted mean and standard deviation were used to determine the self-care practices and the caring behaviors. Pearson's Product-Moment correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation between the two variables. The results indicate that "Supportive Relationships" is third-year nursing students' most effective self-care practice, with an overall mean of 4.26 and a standard deviation of 0.86 or interpreted as "Always." Meanwhile, third-year nursing students' most observed caring behavior is "Attentive Listening," with a mean score of 5.53 and a standard deviation of 0.66 or interpreted as "Always." However, there is no significant relationship between the self-care practices and caring behaviors of third-year nursing students towards patient care (correlation is significant at p<0.05>.
