This study aims to investigate the current status of TCM nursing capabilities among nurses in hospitals in Guangyuan, analyze the influencing factors, and propose development strategies. A descriptive survey was conducted using a random sampling method to select 1,518 clinical nurses engaged in TCM nursing from four public hospitals in Guangyuan. Data were collected using general information questionnaires, TCM nursing capability questionnaires, and TCM nursing training needs questionnaires. The study found that the TCM nursing team in Guangyuan is characterized by a young workforce and high educational levels, but a high proportion of non-regular staff. There is an imbalance in TCM nursing capabilities, with strong technical skills but weak theoretical foundations, and more routine techniques than innovative ones. Nurses have a strong demand for training, but there is room for improvement in the quantity and relevance of existing training programs. Based on these findings, the study proposes strategies to optimize team structure, enhance capabilities through tiered approaches, meet training needs precisely, and promote the development of the discipline.
