Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship among clinical nursing students' humanistic care ability, locus of control and meaning in life, and to provide scientific theoretical basis for improving their humanistic care ability. MethodsFrom November to December 2018, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 358 school nursing students selected by convenience sampling from a college in Liaoning Province using the Caring Ability Inventory(CAI), Internality, Powerful Others,and Chance Scale(IPC), and Chinese version of Meaning in Life Questionnaire(C-MLQ). ResultsThe 358 nursing students achieved the total score of (177.84±23.56)in CAI ; in IPC, the total score of "Internity" was (30.80±6.03), the total score of "Powerful Others" was (21.61±9.81)and the total score of "Chance" was (21.88±8.73); the total score of C-MLQ was (44.48±8.06). The "meaning in life", "powerful others" and "internity" could explain 51.5% of variations of the humanistic care ability. ConclusionsThe humanistic care ability of school nursing students is low and closely related to their locus of control and meaning in life. Intervention research on locus of control and meaning in life based on this theory should be strengthened so as to improve the clinical nursing students' humanistic care ability.
