The total score of geriatric nursing competence was (164.47 ± 32.25). Learning motivation ( β=11.09, P<0.05), whether to participate in activities to serve the elderly ( β=10.03, P<0.05), and training level ( β=-4.42, P<0.05) were the influencing factors affecting the elderly care ability of nursing students in the later stage of practice, which explained 12.5% of total variance. Conclusions:The geriatric nursing competence of nursing students in the later stage of practice is generally at a medium level, and the ability of each dimension is not balanced. Nursing educators should enrich the content of geriatric nursing courses, pay attention to the practical activities of the elderly, stimulate students′ learning motivation, and promote the construction of training programs for the geriatric nursing competence of nursing students at different training levels, so as to improve students' geriatric nursing competence.
