Background This study investigated the scientific research capacity and related factors of nurses with Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degrees to provide information on hierarchical management and continuing education of nurses in China. Method This multi-center cross-sectional study included 221 MSN hospital nurses in China. Results Ninety-one percent of MSN nurses had good or excellent research capacity. Continuing education requirements existed regarding research practice and design. Research time, teamwork, leadership support, and retraining opportunities influenced research capacity, which decreased with increasing age and years of work, especially at 3 to 5 years after initial employment. Conclusion Clinical managers should pay attention to factors that influence nurses' research capacity and continuing education requirements. Multiple incentives should be used for MSN nurses, especially for those with 3 to 5 years of employment, to provide more chances for self-actualization, to take advantage of their talents, and to promote the development of clinical nursing.

Mediating Effect of Humanistic Care Ability Between Career Identity and Turnover Intention in Standardized Training Nurses

Objective
To investigate the status quo of humanistic quality and professional identity of nurses with master′s degree and explore their correlation.


Methods
A cross-sectional survey was adopted. Totally 198 nurses with master′s degree were investigated with the Nursing Caring Characters Assessment Tool (NCCAT) and the Professional Identity Scale.


Results
The average score of NCCAT was 121.64±9.09. The average score of the professional identity was 33.90±6.24. Correlation analysis showed that NCCAT score was positively correlated to the professional identity (r=0.316, P=0.000).


Conclusions
The results indicate that nurses with master's degree need to improve their caring characters; professional identity can serve as an intervention to improve the caring characters of nurses with master′s degree.
