The effects of a humanity classics reading class for nursing students

Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of a humanity classics reading class on altruism, empathic ability, self-efficacy, and major satisfaction for college nursing students. 
Methods To achieve the purpose of the study, 143 nursing students at B University in Busan who took the “Literature and Art” class were identified with differences in altruism, empathy, self-efficacy, and major satisfaction before and after the humanity classics reading. In order to test hypotheses, data was analyzed by using SPSS WIN 26.0. Frequency analysis and t-test were performed to identify characteristics of respondents and the effects of the class respectively. 
Results After taking the humanity classics reading class, the average score of altruism increased from 3.85 to 3.88, empathc ability from 3.74 to 3.89, self-efficacy from 3.20 to 3.30, and major satisfaction from 3.97 to 4.53. empathic ability, self-efficacy and major satisfaction all increased. Moreover, there were statistically significant differences in empathic ability (t=-2.580, p=.011), self-efficacy (t=-2.004, p=.047), and major satisfaction (t=-9313, p<.001). 
Conclusions The study shows that the humanity classics reading class is an effective class to improve major satisfaction as well as altruism, empathy, and self-efficacy, which is necessary for nursing students. In addition, it is significant in that a humanity classics reading class was presented as an example of improving the humanities capabilities of nursing students.
