Abstract：Objective:To probe into the status quo of undergraduate nursing students listening ability and its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 233 undergraduate nursing students were investigated by listening performance scale and Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C(IRI-C).Results:The listening ability score of undergraduate nursing students was(62.32±6.83)points,IRI-C total score was(50.95±9.15)points.Listening ability score of undergraduate nursing students with love experience was higher than those without love experience(P＜ 0.05).IRI-C total score and point of view,personal pain,dimension of sympathy and listening ability were positively correlated(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),personal suffering dimension was negatively correlated with listening ability(P＜0.01).Stratified stepwise regression analysis showed that love experience,perspective taking dimension,personal suffering dimension,and dimension of sympathy were the influencing factors of listening ability of undergraduate nursing students (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions:Undergraduate nursing students listening ability was at a general level,Nursing educators should pay attention to the intrinsic motivation of the students who were willing to take the initiative to listen,and carry out professional and targeted communication skills training,so as to improve the listening ability of nursing students.
