Methods A total of 241 undergraduate nursing students in two universities of Fujian province were investigated using the Self-reflection and Insight Scale and the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Nursing Student. Results The score of self-reflection and insight among participants was 78.00(72.00,85.00) and the score of empathy ability was 102.00(83.00,115.00). The score of self-reflection and insight was positively correlated with empathy(r=0.521,P<0.01). Conclusion Among nursing undergraduates,both of the self-reflection and insight ability and empathy ability are at a medium level.
