The results showed that there was a significant relationship between father's role and emotional maturity of prospective nursing students, with a correlation value of 0.437 (p < 0.05). This shows that the higher the father's role in supporting his child, the higher the level of emotional maturity of the student. In conclusion, the role of fathers has a positive influence on the emotional maturity of prospective nursing students, which in turn can improve the quality of care provided to patients.
