Abstract: Objective To explore the current situation and correlation between humanistic caring ability and positive psychological capital of midwifery students in higher vocational colleges. Methods Totally 324 midwifery students in higher vocational colleges in Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan area of Hunan Province were investigated by using caring ability evaluation scale and positive psychological capital questionnaire. Results The total score of humanistic care ability of midwifery major students in higher vocational colleges was(165.44±18.03)points,which was lower than the domestic norm. The average score for positive psychological capital items was(4.58±0.64)points,and the average scores of each dimension from high to low were resilience,hope,self-efficacy and optimism. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of humanistic care ability among midwifery major students in different grade,having nursing experience or not,and caring atmosphere(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of positive psychological capital among midwifery major students with different degree of fondness for majors,caring atmosphere,serving as a class leader or not,having experience in community activities or not,and habit of reading literature books(all P<0.05). The results of correlation and regression analysis showed that humanistic caring ability was positively correlated with positive psychological capital(P<0.01). There was a linear regression relationship between humanistic caring ability and optimism,resilience,among which resilience had the greatest influence on humanistic caring ability(b'=-0.342).
