Objective:To explore the current situation and influencing factors of somatic and psychological symptoms among nursing undergraduate students.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Through snowball sampling and convenience sampling, 806 nursing undergraduate students from East, South, Central, North, Northwest and Southwest China were selected as the research subjects from March to July 2021. A survey was conducted among nursing undergraduate students using the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2 (GAD-2) .Results:The positive detection rates of somatic symptoms, depression, and anxiety among 806 nursing undergraduate students were 66.5% (536/806), 14.3% (115/806), and 12.9% (104/806), respectively. The results of binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that chronic diseases, perceived health status, and water intake were the influencing factors for psychological and somatic symptoms of nursing undergraduate students ( P<0.05). Nursing undergraduate students' somatic symptoms, depression and anxiety were positively correlated ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The detection rate of somatic symptoms among nursing undergraduate students is high. Families and universities should pay timely attention to the psychological and somatic health of nursing undergraduate students, and provide targeted psychological support for students with different characteristics.
