Abstract:

Objective To understand the current state of humanistic practice competence among clinical nursing educators in China,and analyze its influencing factors,thereby providing a theoretical basis for enhancing educators’ humanistic practice competence. Methods A convenience sampling method was employed to survey 1,355 clinical nursing instructors using a general information questionnaire,the Nursing Professional Value Scale,and the Humanistic Practice Competency Assessment Scale. Results The total scores for humanistic practice competence and professional value sense among clinical nursing educators were(113.18±13.37) and (150.15±20.93),respectively. Humanistic practice competence and professional value sense showed a significant positive correlation(r=0.643,P<0.001). Factors influencing humanistic practice competence among clinical nursing educators included years of experience,behavioral habits regarding perception of patients’ emotional needs during work,attitudes toward implementing systematic humanistic nursing training,adequacy of humanistic knowledge reserves for teaching demands,engagement in humanistic-related teaching tasks,and professional sense of value(R2=0.453,P<0.05). Conclusion Clinical nursing educators exhibit at a relatively high level of humanistic practice competence. Nursing administrators should enhance training in humanistic nursing and professional ethics,establish career development support systems,improve compensation packages,and develop management strategies in combination with influencing factors to promote the advancement of humanistic practice competence among clinical nursing educators.
