Methods: Ninety-four nursing undergraduates were recruited as research subjects. The CAI (Caring Ability Inventory) Humanistic Care Competency Scale was used to conduct pre-internship and post-internship assessments. Combined with classroom observations and in-depth interviews, the existing teaching status and prominent problems were analyzed; targeted reform strategies were proposed and verified in practical teaching. Results: Prior to the reform, nursing students’ humanistic care capacity remained at a moderate level, with three-dimensional features: relatively adequate cognition, insufficient courage, and deficient patience. After implementing the reform, significant improvements were achieved in the cognition, courage, and patience dimensions. Students demonstrated a remarkable increase in voluntary caring behaviors, and patient satisfaction scores rose substantially. Conclusion: Reform measures including optimizing teaching content, strengthening preceptor teams, perfecting evaluation systems, and improving school-hospital collaborative mechanisms can effectively enhance nursing students’ humanistic care ability and professional literacy, and deliver feasible approaches for the ideological and political reform of graduation internship courses.Humanistic care, Nursing undergraduates, Graduation internship, Curriculum ideological and political education, Teaching reform
