Therapeutic communication in nursing students appears to be more strongly associated with self-perceived competence, academic motivation, and specific communicative behaviours than with sociodemographic characteristics or stress levels. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening training in concrete communication skills during undergraduate nursing education.
