Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the current status of perceptions of instructor caring and professional identity of nursing students during the clinical practice in a hospital, and to explore the correlation between them. Methods 595 nursing and midwifery students were surveyed by using self-reporting questionnaires consisted of demographic information, the nursing students' perception of instructor caring (NSPIC) and the professional identity scale during June to July 2017. The relationship between the NSPIC and the professional identity were analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results The total score of 595 nursing students' perception of instructor caring and professional identity were (133.93±11.73) and (43.85±4.69). It was found that the two were positively correlated (r=0.440, P<0.01). Conclusions The care of nursing students need to be strengthened, and the professional identification of nursing students needs to be improved. The NSPIC has positive influence on nursing professional identity. Instructors should strengthen caring of nursing students to improve their professional identity.
