Problem-solving ability has been identified as a core competence that nursing students should develop, and it plays a vital role in career development. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate factors related to problem-solving ability and the path relationships among those factors in the context of nursing students.
This study aims to identify the factors that affect problem-solving ability, and to investigate path relationships of self-directed learning ability, critical thinking ability, learning engagement, and problem-solving ability among nursing students.
A cross-sectional study.
The Department of Nursing at a university located in Shanghai, China.
A total of 540 nursing students with a three-year education program were enrolled in the current study.
Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire, including general information, learning engagement, self-directed learning ability, critical thinking ability, and problem-solving ability of nursing students. Pearson's correlations were used to explore the relationships between learning engagement, self-directed learning ability, critical thinking ability, and problem-solving ability. The path relationships were analyzed by constructing a structural equation model using AMOS software.
Our results showed that learning engagement, self-directed learning ability, and critical thinking ability were positively associated with problem-solving ability. Furthermore, learning engagement did not influence problem-solving ability directly, but it affected problem-solving ability indirectly via self-directed learning ability and critical thinking ability among nursing students. Additionally, the total effects of self-directed learning (0.442) and critical thinking ability (0.581) were more prominent than learning engagement (0.361) on problem-solving ability.
To improve the problem-solving ability of nursing students, nursing educators should develop targeted strategies to enhance learning engagement, self-directed learning ability, and critical thinking ability.
解决问题的能力已被确定为护理专业学生应培养的核心能力，并且在职业发展中起着至关重要的作用。因此，有必要在护理专业学生的背景下，研究与解决问题能力相关的因素以及这些因素之间的路径关系。
本研究旨在确定影响解决问题能力的因素，并探讨护理专业学生的自主学习能力、批判性思维能力、学习投入度和解决问题能力之间的路径关系。
横断面研究。
中国上海一所大学的护理系。
本研究共纳入了540名接受三年制教育项目的护理专业学生。
使用结构化问卷收集数据，包括护理专业学生的一般信息、学习投入度、自主学习能力、批判性思维能力和解决问题能力。采用Pearson相关性分析来探讨学习投入度、自主学习能力、批判性思维能力和解决问题能力之间的关系。使用AMOS软件构建结构方程模型来分析路径关系。
我们的结果表明，学习投入度、自主学习能力和批判性思维能力与解决问题能力呈正相关。此外，学习投入度并未直接影响解决问题能力，但它通过护理专业学生的自主学习能力和批判性思维能力间接影响解决问题能力。此外，自主学习（0.442）和批判性思维能力（0.581）对解决问题能力的总效应比学习投入度（0.361）更为显著。
为了提高护理专业学生的解决问题能力，护理教育工作者应制定有针对性的策略来提高学习投入度、自主学习能力和批判性思维能力。
