Objective To construct a structural equation model of the mechanism of the role of medical humanities literacy in job competency and to conduct empirical analysis to verify the supporting role of medical humanities literacy in cultivating job competency. Methods Literature research was conducted to select the initial indicator system for medical humanities literacy and job competency, and then a conceptual model was constructed. Questionnaire data from four hospitals in Chengdu were collected. Through exploratory factor analysis, an indicator system for medical humanities literacy and job competency more suitable for the research population was obtained and the conceptual model was adjusted. Finally, the positive mechanism of medical humanities literacy on job competency was verified using confirmatory factor analysis (structural equation model). Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the overall questionnaire involved in the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses was greater than 0.9, and the KMO values of the questionnaire were greater than 0.8, with a Bartlett's sphericity test P value less than 0.01, indicating good reliability and validity of the questionnaire. The model fit of the structural equation model met the requirements, with a chi-square degree of freedom ratio (CMIN/df) of 2.768, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.077, comparative fit index (CFI) of 0.891, normalized fit index (NFI) of 0.840, and incremental fit index (IFI) of 0.891. Conclusion The improvement of individual characteristics in job competency is mainly influenced by medical humanities knowledge and spirit. The improvement of cognitive characteristics in job competency is mainly influenced by medical humanities knowledge and ability. The improvement of achievement characteristics in job competency is mainly influenced by medical humanities ability and spirit. The improvement of management characteristics in job competency is mainly influenced by medical humanities spirit.
