Methods: A cross-sectional study of 210 nursing vocational college students from a vocational college in Sichuan Province were selected by convenience sampling method in January 2023, and investigated with General demographic information, Self-rating depression scale, General self-efficacy scale, and hope scale. Results: The scores of depression, general self-efficacy and hope were (41.96 ± 10.05), (23.84 ± 5.92) and (21.18 ± 4.46), respectively; Correlation analysis showed that depression was negatively correlated with self-efficacy (r=-0.617, Pr=-0.612, P<0.01). The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the three variables of self-efficacy, willingness motivation dimension, and path dimension entered the regression equation and together explained 43.70% of the total variance.
