Therapeutic Communication (TC) is the process of purposeful and understandable communication between patients and caregivers, which helps facilitate optimized care. Here, we assessed nursing students' interaction with patients and its related factors.
In this descriptive-analytical study, a convenience sample of 240 undergraduate nursing students from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, completed consent forms, a demographic information questionnaire, and a TC questionnaire in 2018. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
TC score of most students was moderate and good, with the mean (SD) of 143.07 (12.86). Factors, including gender (Χ = 8.02, ≤ 0.01), semester (Χ = 4.01, ≤ 0.05), employment (r = 0.49, ≤ 0.01), and workshop attendance (r = 0.80, ≤ 0.01), influenced the students' TC knowledge and skills.
Future nurses' TC can be improved by part-time employment and practical training. Conducting more research with a larger sample size from all nursing faculties is suggested.
治疗性沟通（TC）是患者与护理人员之间有目的且可理解的沟通过程，有助于促进优化护理。在此，我们评估了护理专业学生与患者的互动及其相关因素。
在这项描述性分析研究中，2018年从伊朗德黑兰医科大学选取了240名本科护理专业学生作为便利样本，他们填写了同意书、人口统计学信息问卷和一份治疗性沟通问卷。数据采用描述性和推断性统计方法进行分析。
大多数学生的治疗性沟通得分中等及良好，平均（标准差）为143.07（12.86）。包括性别（Χ = 8.02，P ≤ 0.01）、学期（Χ = 4.01，P ≤ 0.05）、就业情况（r = 0.49，P ≤ 0.01）和参加工作坊情况（r = 0.80，P ≤ 0.01）等因素影响了学生的治疗性沟通知识和技能。
通过兼职工作和实践培训可以提高未来护士的治疗性沟通能力。建议从所有护理学院选取更大样本量进行更多研究。
