Praktik klinik dapat menjadi beban tersendiri bagi mahasiswa profesi ners yang dapat mengakibatkan burnout. Burnout akan berdampak pada performa selama praktik klinik, terutama dalam berperilaku caring ketika memberikan asuhan keperawatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara burnout dengan perilaku caring mahasiswa profesi ners. Dengan desain cross-sectional, penelitian ini melibatkan 89 mahasiswa profesi ners di satu perguruan tinggi di Jawa Barat. Sampel dipilih dengan teknik simple random sampling. Burnout diukur menggunakan maslach burnout inventory yang telah dimodifikasi dan perilaku caring menggunakan caring behavior inventory-24. Hasil uji pearson menunjukkan skor burnout dengan skor perilaku caring berkorelasi sedang dan negatif, serta bermakna (r= -0,460; p<0,001). Penelitian ini juga mendapatkan rerata skor dimensi kelelahan emosional paling tinggi dibanding dimensi lain dan dimensi menciptakan hubungan positif dari perilaku caring mahasiswa profesi ners masih rendah. Kesimpulan: Burnout berhubungan dengan perilaku caring, yaitu semakin tinggi tingkat burnout semakin rendah skor perilaku caring. Institusi pendidikan keperawatan perlu mengavaluasi iklim pembelajaran klinik dan merancang program untuk mencegah burnout selama pendidikan profesi agar tidak berdampak pada perilaku caring mahasiswa terhadap pasien.
