Abstract

This paper investigated the level of social responsibility and the factors influencing it among 602 nursing college students in a three-year senior high school in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analysed using independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis, and it was found that the sense of social responsibility was significantly and positively correlated with professional satisfaction, nursing professionalism and sociability. Factors such as grade level and volunteer experience also influenced social responsibility. The study provides data support for nursing education and suggests ways to enhance nursing students' sense of social responsibility by optimising the curriculum and enhancing practice.
