Study on the current situation and influencing factor of clinical communication ability in nursing graduates

Objective:To know the current situation of clinical communication ability of nursing graduates,and explore effective cultivating mode of communication.Methods:The basic information,communication ability,and related-problems in cultivating clinical communication ability in grade 2016 nursing graduates from Huangshan Vocational and Technical College were investigated using anonymous questionnaire survey.Results:The lowest score,highest score,mean score and mean score of each item in clinical communication ability were 105,167,(140.58±8.85) and (2.34±0.26),respectively.The differences of the overall score of clinical communication ability and each dimension score among the students with different interest to their major,different average scores of courses,and different lecture-attending frequency were statistically significant(P<0.01).The score in students who has great interest was significantly higher than that in students who has common interest or no interest(P<0.01),and which in students who has common interest was significantly higher than that in who has no interest(P<0.01).The score in students with average score ≥ 80 was significantly higher than that in students with average score from >70 to <80 and ≤ 70(P<0.01),and the score in students with average score from >70 to <80 was significantly higher than that in students with average score ≤ 70(P<0.01).The score in students whose lecture-attending frequency ≥ 4 per year or from 2 to 3 per year was significantly higher than that in students whose lecture-attending frequency ≤ 1 per year.The E-extroversion and L-lie of nurses' personalities were positively correlated with their communication ability(P<0.05),while N-neuroticism and P-psychoticism were negatively correlated with their communication ability(P<0.05).Multiple regression analysis showed that the more interest to their major,attending more lectures and extraverted personality were the protective factors of communication ability,and the neuroticism and psychoticism were the dangerous factors of communication ability.Conclusions:Cultivating students' professional interest as early as possible,strengthening clinical communication skills and learning awareness,emphasizing clinical practice teaching,and adopting a variety of teaching methods cultivate the communication ability of students.Strengthening medical education reform,adding humanities courses and cultivating a positive and optimistic character can gradually increase the clinical communication ability of students.
