Objective To explore clinical nurses′ knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards narrative nursing, and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide reference for related clinical training. Methods A survey of 423 clinical nurses in a tertiary general hospital in Zhuhai was conducted by using a general information questionnaire and narrative nursing KAP questionnaire. Results The clinical nurses′ scored (21.12±3.97) points in knowledge(scoring rate 70.40%)，（33.83±4.35）points in attitude (scoring rate 84.58%), and （28.19±4.67） points in practice（ scoring rate 70.48%）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational attainment was the influencing factor of the knowledge dimension（P＜0.01）; educational attainment and years of service contributed to nurses′ attitude towards narrative nursing（P＜0.01）; years of service and professional titles affected nurses′ practice of narrative nursing（P＜0.01）. Conclusion Clinical nurses have good attitude towards narrative nursing, though their knowledge levels and practice needs to be improved. Nursing managers need to strengthen education and training of clinical nurses on narrative nursing, improve their awareness of narrative nursing, and promote effective application of narrative nursing in clinical practice.
