Methods The Jefferson scale of empathy health professionals and job adjustment disorder scale were used for the survey among 189 pediatric nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the association between empathic ability and job adjustment disorder of pediatric nurses. Results The total score of empathic ability of pediatric nurses was (76.32 ±5.03), the score of their job adjustment disorder was (23.69 ±6.03). Their empathic ability and its dimensions were significantly negatively related with job adjustment disorder (P ＜0.01). Conclusions The empathic ability of pediatric nurses was at a medium to low level, job adjustment disorder was at a medium to high level. The higher level of pediatric nurses' empathic ability, the lower level of job adjustment disorder is.
