| Sumario: | Objectives: to identify the interpersonal communication competence of students in the context of undergraduate Nursing and associate social characteristics and anxiety traits with competence in interpersonal communication. Method: quantitative cross-sectional study carried out withundergraduate Nursing students from two private higher education universities. In this study, three instruments were used: a survey participant characterization questionnaire, the Trait Scale component of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (ICCS). Results: the study sample consisted of 613 students with a mean age of 25.53 (±7.93). The higher the family income, the greater tend to be assertiveness, handling interactions and controlling the environment. The longer the student is in the course, the greater the self-disclosure and control ofthe environment. Women tend to reveal themselves more and have more availability in interpersonal relationships. Evening students tend to be less available than morning students. The shyer and more anxious student, the less competent will be in interpersonal communication. Conclusions: there is an association between income and assertiveness, managing interactions and controlling theenvironment; the semester with self-disclosure and control of the environment; of sex with availability and self-disclosure; the period in which the student takes the course and availability. Shyness and anxiety were negative variables in relation to competence in interpersonal communication. |
