종합병원 간호사의 비판적 사고성향과 임상수행능력 = Critical Thinking Disposition and Clinical Competence in General Hospital Nurses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the relationship between critical thinking disposition and clinical competence
among nurses in general hospitals. Methods: This study was a descriptive-correlational study with a convenience
sample of 560 nurses from 5 general hospitals. The data were collected by self-administered questionnaires. Critical thinking
disposition was measured using the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale for Nursing Students. Clinical competence was
measured using the Standardized Nurse Performance Appraisal Tool. Results: The mean score for critical thinking disposition
and clinical competence was 3.37 and 4.10 respectively on a 5 point scale. A statistically significant correlation
was found between critical thinking disposition and clinical competence. A regression model explained 72.8% of clinical
competence. Prudence is the most significant predictor of clinical competence (R2=.728). Conclusion: Study findings
suggest that nurses with a higher level of critical thinking disposition would have a higher level of clinical competence. Furthermore,
prudence might be the most important predictor of clinical competence. In order to strengthen clinical competence
in nurses, the development and enhancement of critical thinking should be emphasized at the college level and
nurses should be encouraged to make a clinical decision with greater prudence.
