Abstract:
Objective:To explore the latent profiles of humanistic care competence among undergraduate nursing interns during clinical placements and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Totally 217 undergraduate nursing interns undergoing clinical practice at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from March to May 2023 were recruited by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI), the Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students (ESQ-NS), the Healthcare Education Micro Learning Environment Measure (HEMLEM), and the Professional Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis was used to classify the nursing interns based on their humanistic care competence, and disordered multinomial Logistic regression was employed to identify factors influencing different latent categories.Results:A total of 217 questionnaires were distributed and all were returned with a 100.00% valid response rate (217/217). The total score for CAI was (200.16±22.49). The scores for the dimensions were as follows: understanding (80.60±8.42), courage (61.24±11.28), and patience (58.31±5.72). The nursing interns' humanistic care competence was categorized into three latent profiles: "at-risk group" "potential group" and "advantage group". Logistic regression analysis revealed that professional self-efficacy, learning environment, and ethical sensitivity were significant factors influencing these latent profiles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are differences in the humanistic care competence of nursing interns, which are influenced by factors such as professional self-efficacy, learning environment and ethical sensitivity. Educators and managers should tailor training based on these influencing factors to enable nursing interns to internalize humanistic care values and enhance their humanistic care competence.
