Abstract:

Humanistic care competence is a core professional quality for nurses,and its systematic cultivation during the educational stage is a critical issue in nursing education. Role modeling refers to the educational process of conveying professional attitudes and values to learners through observable behaviors. This paper systematically reviews the research progress on the use of role models in humanistic care education for nursing students. By summarizing the theoretical bases and mechanisms of action underlying these interventions,the review outlines their application methods,processes,and outcomes. Furthermore,it synthesizes quantitative evaluation tools for assessing the quality of role modeling,analyzes current research limitations,and proposes future development directions. Ultimately,this review aims to provide a reference for the standardized application of role modeling in nursing humanistic education.
