Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability as well as the influencing factors the problem solving ability in nursing students. The data was collected from 422 nursing students of 4 colleges and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The mean score of the critical thinking disposition was $3.42{\pm}0.42$ and the problem solving ability was $3.84{\pm}0.50$. A significant positive correlation was observed between the critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability. Multiple regression analysis showed that the predictors of the problem solving ability were the critical thinking disposition and interpersonal relationship. These findings suggest that there is a need to increase the critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability in nursing students. These results should be reflected in an evaluation and development of the curriculum and learning method.

본 연구는 3년제 간호학생의 비판적 사고성향과 문제해결능력과의 관계를 알아보고 문제해결능력에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 자료 수집은 4개 전문대학의 간호과 재학생 422명을 대상으로 이루어졌으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 비판적 사고성향의 평균은 $3.42{\pm}0.42$, 문제해결능력의 평균은 $3.84{\pm}0.50$이었다. 비판적 사고성향과 문제해결능력은 양적 상관관계가 있었으며, 다중회귀분석결과 문제해결능력에 영향을 주는 요인은 비판적 사고성향과 대인관계이었다. 결과를 통해 간호학생의 비판적 사고성향과 문제해결능력을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 간호학생의 비판적 사고성향과 문제해결능력을 향상시키는 교육과정과 교육방법을 개발하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
