Abstract: Objective Investigate the current situation of job esteem among nursing interns and its influencing factors. Methods From March to April 2022, a convenience sample of 330 nursing interns who have practiced in 3 tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province were selected the research participants, and the general information questionnaire and job esteem scale and social capital questionnaire was used to conduct surveys. Multiple linear regression method was used to analyze the relevant data. Results The total average score of job esteem and social capital of nursing interns was (92.31±14.43) and (21.08±2.54) points, respectively. There were positively correlation between total scores and dimension scores of job esteem and social capital (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that compared with interns who involuntarily chose nursing major, had poor academic performance, and disliked nursing major, students who voluntarily chose nursing major (b=0.68, P<0.001), had better academic performance (b=0.50, P<0.001), and liked nursing major (b=0.71, P<0.001) had higher job esteem scores. Students with higher scores for values (b=0.23, P=0.015) and social networks (b=0.12, P=0.039) have higher scores for job esteem. The above variables can explain 37.2% of the total variation in job esteem scores. Conclusions Nursing interns' sense of professional respect is at a moderate level. Voluntary choice of nursing major, good academic performance, love of nursing major, values, and social network all have a positive impact on the job esteem of intern nursing students. Universities and hospital management departments can promote advanced nursing models through various forms to guide interns to correctly understand the value of nursing majors, create a harmonious atmosphere, enhance the social participation of interns, guide them to make good career planning, and thereby enhance the job esteem of nursing interns.
