Journal Article
The current status and influencing factors of humanistic care ability among dental specialty nurses: a cross-sectional study
2025
Overview
Background
Existing research indicates that Chinese nurses generally have a low level of humanistic care competence, and the humanistic care services provided to patients are often insufficient. In dental specialty settings, which primarily operate on an outpatient basis with limited inpatient services, nurses have fewer opportunities to deliver humanistic care, potentially reducing patient satisfaction. This study aims to investigate the current status and influencing factors of humanistic care competence among dental specialty nurses, providing a theoretical basis for developing targeted training programs.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2025 using a convenience sampling method. Nurses from a tertiary stomatological hospital in Xiamen, were recruited. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The descriptive analysis, independent samples t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation tests, spearman correlation tests, multiple linear regression analysis were employed in data analysis.
Results
A total of 181 nurses participated in the study (179 female, 2 male), with a questionnaire response rate of 90.5%. The overall score of humanistic care competence among dental nurses was 175.44 ± 21.51 (range: 101–240). Sub-dimension scores included cognition (59.83 ± 11.07), courage (68.33 ± 11.76), and patience (47.28 ± 5.13). The average GSES score was 28.85 ± 6.68 (range: 14–40). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that senior staff nurse (
β
= 16.371,
P
< 0.001), nurse supervisor (
β
= 18.336,
P
< 0.001), no humanistic care training (
β
=-24.416,
P
< 0.001), and self-efficacy (
β
= 0.518,
P
= 0.009) were independent predictors of humanistic care ability.
Conclusion
Humanistic care competence among dental specialty nurses is at a relatively low level. Clinical training programs should incorporate humanistic awareness as a core element, and effective strategies should be implemented to enhance nurses’ self-efficacy in order to improve their ability to provide humanistic care.
