Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to examine how organizational caring climate, communication ability, and emotional intelligence jointly relate to nursing interns' humanistic care ability within a dual-mediation path-analytic framework. Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, 657 nursing interns from five tertiary first-class hospitals in China were selected as participants. Surveys were conducted using the Humanistic Care Ability Scale, the Organizational Care Atmosphere Scale, the Caring Ability Inventory Scale, and the Emotional Intelligence Scale. Results: Communication Ability and Emotional Intelligence was 0.105 (95% CI 0.07-0.15); the total indirect effect was 0.348 (95% CI 0.27-0.42). Conclusion: The humanistic care ability of nursing interns is influenced by the objective factor of care atmosphere and the subjective factors of communication competence and emotional intelligence.
