Objective Effective communication skills are one of the core competencies of nursing curricula internationally. Nurses are generally regarded as proficient. Despite our complete trust in the profession, deficiencies and gaps exist. However, it is not clear to which extent nurses use key communication skills in practice, and whether or not confident in using these skills compounds environmental issues that occur. This study explored nurse's confidence and application of relational skills competencies in nursing practice. Methods A 13-item online survey was used to collect data. Results Being self-aware on key areas where there was more uncertainty. Nurses also lacked confidence in exploring the impact of their personal feelings and values on their interactions. Nurses were also less confident on responding appropriately to instances of unsafe or unprofessional practice and using information and communication systems and technology. Conclusions Given the potential impact of poor relational skills on quality client care, an increased emphasis on caring and compassion, and the ever-expanding use of communication technologies, there is a need to explore the need for reflective practice to enhance continuous professional development for nurses to enhance their relational skills.

“…According to Watson (2), caring is a moral concept of nursing, which can be expressed through the specific behaviours of nurses to protect and promote human health. Nurses' caring ability, an indispensable component of professional nursing practice, significantly affects professional performance of nurses, the quality of patient's life (3,4), and the costs and outcomes of health care (5,6). Improving nurses' caring ability reported as not meeting patients' demand (7) is an important way to provide high-quality care.…”

“…However, there are challenges in designing and implementing interventions to enhance nurses' caring ability. In China, few practical caring activities and few educators or trainers were reported to be the possible challenges (4,8). More understanding Chinese nurses' caring ability and identifying its predictors are vital to develop practical and targeted training programmes to improve nurses' ability to care for patients.…”

Predictors of caring ability and its dimensions among nurses in China: A cross-sectional studyBackground: Caring is an essential component of professional nursing practice, which directly affects the quality of patient care. Nurses' caring ability may not meet patients' demands for high-quality care. There are challenges in designing and implementing interventions to improve nurses' caring ability, especially in China. Understanding Chinese nurses' caring ability and related influential factors serves as the basis for effective interventions to improve their ability to care for patients. Aim: To describe the caring ability of nurses and its potential predictors in China. Methods: From January to February 2018, a crosssectional survey was conducted among 2304 Registered Nurses working at different levels of hospitals across 29 provinces in China. The structured online survey included socio-demographic information, Caring Ability Inventory, Caring Efficacy Scale and Professional Quality of Life. Descriptive statistics, univariate analyses and multivariate analyses were conducted. Results: Overall caring ability and its three dimensions of the participants were all significantly lower than the Nkongho' norm, an international scoring standard of nurse's caring ability. Age, employment type, workplace, caring efficacy, compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress were predictors of knowing, explaining 41.8% of the variance. Predictors of courage were educational level, bereavement experience, caring efficacy, compassion satisfaction and burnout (31.7% of the variance). Educational level, workplace, exposure to critically ill patients, caring efficacy, compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress were influencing factors of patience, accounting for 19.5% of the variance. Conclusions: Chinese nurses' caring ability, with patience, knowing, and courage in descending order. Particular attention needs to be paid to the courage dimension of the nurses' caring ability. Further, the predictors of overall caring ability and each dimension were diverse. These results indicate that nurse educators and administrators need to identify training priorities and design targeted interventions based on the influencing factors.
