Abstract:

Objective To understand the current situation and influencing factors of undergraduate nursing interns' learning engagement in a grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guiyang,and to provide reference for improving their learning engagement level. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select undergraduate nursing students who interned at a grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guiyang from February to April 2024 as the survey subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information survey form,a nursing student professional identity scale,and a learning engagement scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The total score of learning engagement[MP25P75)] for 291 undergraduate nursing interns was 74.0(68.0,85.0)points,and the total score of professional identity was 53.0(51.0,64.0)points. There were statistically significant differences in the learning engagement scores of undergraduate nursing interns with different family origins,monthly family income,reasons for choosing nursing majors,whether they like nursing work,whether they are class cadres,average academic performance per semester,family members engaged in the medical industry,employment prospects,and post graduation intentions(all P<0.05). The total score of professional identity and its various dimensions were positively correlated with the total score of learning engagement and its various dimensions(all P<0.05). The average academic performance per semester,willingness to graduate,and level of professional identity were the main factors affecting their learning engagement(all P<0.05),explaining 56.9% of the total variation. Conclusion The learning engagement level of undergraduate nursing interns in a grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guiyang needs to be improved,which is influenced by factors such as academic performance,post graduation willingness,and professional values. Nursing educators and managers can improve their learning engagement level through personalized hierarchical management,optimizing the nursing student training system,and strengthening vocational values education.
