Abstract:
Soft skills are essential to ensure the well-being of patients. However, it would appear that the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques (HINPHT) in Settat, Morocco, lacks sufficient training in this area. The quantitative descriptive study presented here set out to explore how undergraduate nursing students at HINPHT understand these soft skills. The results provided valuable information about their own soft skills, highlighting areas for improvement.
