Objective To determine the correlation between occupation identity and caring ability of nursing students. Methods A total of 250 nursing students practicing in 4 municipal hospitals in Shanghai were investigated with Nurse´s Career Identity Scale and Caring Ability Inventory Scale. Results The occupation identity of nursing students was in the moderate level, and the caring ability was lower than the norm. The occupation identity was positively correlated to the caring ability, and higher occupation identity led to higher caring ability. Conclusion The caring ability of nursing students is relatively lower as a whole, and schools and hospitals should pay close attention to enhancing the occupation identity of nursing students so as to promote their caring ability.
