Abstract

|
|
Purpose : This descriptive research study aimed to identify the factors influencing nursing students’ empathy and gender role identity and their effect on communication competence.
Methods : Participants were 183 senior nursing students who had completed a clinical practice and simulation-based practical training course. Using the IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0 program, general characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent variables were compared with t-tests and χ2 tests, and influencing factors on each variable and communication underwent multiple linear regression analysis.
Results : Communication competence showed significant correlations with empathy (r=.40, p <.001), gender role identity (r=.53, p <.001), major satisfaction (r=.18, p =.013), and peer relationships (r=.24, p<.001). When gender was entered as a covariate, empathy (t=4.41, p<.001) and gender role identity (t=6.97, p<.001) were identified as predictors affecting communication competence with 36% explanation power (R²=.36, p<.001).
Conclusion : The findings of this study suggest that course subjects considering the gender identities of students should be developed through various programs to establish students’ identity as nurses and improve their empathy and communication.
