Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the potential profiles of imposter phenomenon in undergraduate nursing interns, and to analyze inter-group differences and associated influencing factors.Methods:A total of 216 undergraduate student nurses on placement from January 2023 to July 2024 were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Imposter Phenomenon Scale, and the Social Support Rating Scale. The data were used to identify latent profiles and influencing factors associated with imposter phenomenon among the student nurses, with the use of Mplus 8.3 and SPSS, respectively.Results:The mean imposter phenomenon score of the nursing students was (57.88±10.38) points. They were divided into three groups: low-, intermediate-, and high-level imposter syndrome groups, accounting for 17.13%, 38.89%, and 43.98%, respectively. Sex (odds ratio [ OR]=10.514, 95% CI: 3.021-36.588), monthly family income ( OR=0.154, 95% CI: 0.051-0.469), undergraduate grades ( OR=4.947, 95% CI: 1.924-12.723), and social support ( OR=0.051, 95% CI: 0.008-0.322) were factors influencing the profiles of imposter phenomenon among the students. Conclusions:The imposter syndrome of the undergraduate nursing interns is generally at an intermediate level. Nursing managers and nursing educators should provide more assistance to the intermediate- and high-level groups, with a more comprehensive social support system and targeted intervention strategies, so as to effectively reduce their imposter phenomenon level.
