Results The overall average score for political and ideological literacy among nursing interns was 156.21 ± 28.36 points.Comparisons of average scores for ideological and political literacy among nursing students of different ages, educational levels, political affiliations, and whether they served as class officers all showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that all these factors were independent determinants of nursing students’ ideological and political literacy (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The political and ideological literacy of nursing interns is generally at a good level, and age, educational background, political affiliation, and whether they serve as class officers are the main influencing factors.
