Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the mediating effect of empathy between professional identity and humanistic literacy among nursing students, in order to provide a reference for nursing educators taking targeted measures to improve their humanistic literacy.MethodsA total of 347 nursing students from 3 comprehensive tertiary hospitals in Hunan were recruited by convenience sampling. The questionnaires include a general information questionnaire, a Self-Rating Scale of Nurses’ Humanistic Literacy, Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nurse Students and the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Nursing Students. Effective questionnaires were obtained from 288 individuals (Effective recovery rate: 83.1%).ResultsThe scores of humanistic literacy, professional identity, and empathy of nursing students were (224.98±33.11), (62.83±12.04), and (98.91±17.43). Professional identity was positively correlated with humanistic literacy (r=0.594, P<0.01), and was positively correlated with empathy (r=0.555, P<0.01). Empathy was positively correlated with humanistic literacy (r=0.513, P<0.01). Professional identity can not only directly affect humanistic literacy of the nursing students, but also indirectly affect humanistic literacy of the nursing students through the mediating effect of empathy, with the mediating value accounted for 44.49% of the total effects effect.ConclusionHumanistic literacy among nursing students is at a medium and above level. Empathy is an mediating variable between professional identity and humanistic literacy in nursing students. Nursing educators should pay attention to the cultivation and development of professional identity and empathy of nursing students, so as to improve their humanistic quality and the overall humanistic nursing level of nursing.
