Abstract: Objective To investigate the current situation of on-the-job clinical nurses' professional accomplishment in a county primary hospital in Jiangsu Province,and analyze the correlation between caring ability and professional accomplishment. Methods A total of 286 in-service clinical nurses from 5 primary hospitals in a county of Jiangsu Province were selected by convenience sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey from January to February 2023. The main investigation tools include general information questionnaire,nurse professional quality evaluation system,nurse caring ability scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The total score of professional quality for 286 nurses was (80.39±14.39)points,and the total score of caring ability was (193.41±23.86)points. The total score of professional quality and scores of all dimensions were significantly positively correlated with the total score of caring ability and scores of all dimensions(all P<0.01). Education level,working years,whether they love nursing work,whether they have participated in professional quality lectures and training,whether they have participated in nursing care lectures and training,and nurses' caring ability entered the regression equation(all P<0.05),which explained 47.0% of the total variation of nurses' professional quality. Conclusion The professional quality of nurses in a county of Jiangsu Province is good,but the level of caring ability is low. Among them,education level,working years,whether they love nursing work,whether they have participated in professional quality lectures and training,whether they have participated in nursing care lectures and training,and the total score of nurses' caring ability are the main factors affecting professional quality. Nursing managers should fully understand the personal characteristics of nurses,adopt scientific management methods,improve the overall professional quality of grass-roots nurses,pay attention to the cultivation of nurses' caring ability,and promote the high-quality development of nursing work.
