This study aims to understand the current fear of negative evaluation among undergraduate nursing students and analyze the factors influencing it. Results showed that undergraduate nursing students at Guizhou Medical University scored an average of (15.90 +/- 7.18) on the fear of negative evaluation scale, indicating a moderate level of fear. Gender, left-behind experience, whether in a romantic relationship, personality, and fear of positive evaluation were found to be important factors influencing the level of fear of negative evaluation. Nursing educators and administrators should be aware of nursing students' evaluation fears and use targeted evaluation strategies to promote the development of high-quality nursing talent.
