Abstract: Although self-efficacy has been incorporated into the work of many professions, including clinical nursing profession, minimal research has been conducted by using this concept as determinant of caring behavior, especially about individual's attitude mechanism. On the other side, emotional intelligence has been known as determinant of individual behavior, especially individual performance. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of nurses' self-efficacy and emotional intelligence toward their caring behavior, so that implications and suggest could broaden insight about significance of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence to the nursing profession. 138 nurses in public hospital in Denpasar Bali was taken as respondent in this study. By using PLS as statistical tool to analyze data, result has shown that self-efficacy has no significant effect on caring behavior. Only emotional intelligence, which mainly characterized by nurse interpretation about how someone else was feeling and maintain a positive outlook, has a positive significant effect toward caring behavior.

Abstract: Background:Many strategies have attempted to address some of the socio-economic factors and barriers contributing to poor maternal health service utilisation. However, utilization of maternal health services is often influenced by several factors including women's educational status. Understanding the influence of maternal educationon maternal health service utilisation provides information for better planning and better service utilization, and thus lead to decline in maternal mortality. The objective of this study was to highlight the influence of maternal education on maternal health service utilisation in Uganda.

Methods: Data from the 2011 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey was used. The dependent variable was education. Data analysis was done using SPSS for windows version 20.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used in the analysis.
