Levels, antecedents, and consequences of critical thinking among clinical nurses: a quantitative literature review

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of critical thinking within the clinical nursing context. Inthis review, we addressed the following specific research questions: what are the levels of critical thinking among clinical nurses?; whatare the antecedents of critical thinking?; and what are the consequences of critical thinking? A narrative literature review was applied inthis study. Thirteen articles published from July 2013 to December 2019 were appraised since the most recent scoping review on critical thinking among nurses was conducted from January 1999 to June 2013. The levels of critical thinking among clinical nurses weremoderate or high. Regarding the antecedents of critical thinking, the influence of sociodemographic variables on critical thinking wasinconsistent, with the exception that levels of critical thinking differed according to years of work experience. Finally, little research hasbeen conducted on the consequences of critical thinking and related factors. The above findings highlight the levels, antecedents, andconsequences of critical thinking among clinical nurses in various settings. Considering the significant association between years ofwork experience and critical thinking capability, it may be effective for organizations to deliver tailored education programs on criticalthinking for nurses according to their years of work experience.
