Objective To investigate the professional identity status of nursing students in higher vocational colleges in Shanghai,China,and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods By cluster sampling,we selected 308 nursing students of grade 2019 from a higher vocational college in Shanghai for a survey with the General Information Questionnaire,Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nurse Students(PIQNS),Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6(SPS-6),Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale(WLEIS),Workplace Social Capital(WSC),and Nurse Psychological Capital Questionnaire(PCQ).SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive analysis,the independent samples t-test,one-way analysis of variance,Pearson correlation analysis,and multiple linear regression analysis.Results The total PIQNS score of the students was(64.93±12.83),the total SPS-6 score was(15.91±4.40),the total WLEIS score was(80.57±15.52),the total WSC score was(32.38±6.33),and the total PCQ score was(95.47±18.63).The PIQNS score was negatively correlated with the SPS-6 score(r=-0.282,P<0.01),positively correlated with the WLEIS score(r=0.712,P<0.01),positively correlated with the WSC score(r=0.659,P<0.01),and positively correlated with the PCQ score(r=0.681,P<0.01).The multiple linear regression analysis showed that personal interest,emotional intelligence,and psychological capital significantly affected the professional identity of nursing students,entering the regression equation for professional identity.Conclusions The professional identity of higher vocational nursing students in Shanghai is at a medium level,and personal interest,emotional intelligence,and psychological capital are the main factors influencing professional identity.
