The purpose of this study was to determine if a student will score higher on a critical thinking appraisal test on completion of a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program than on entry into the program. Students currently enrolled in a BSN program were given the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal Test in the first month of the program and repeated the test 1 month before graduation. BSN and BSN/registered nurse (RN) students were included in the study. Data analysis indicated there were no significant differences found in all of the classes of BSN/RN graduates and two of the classes of BSN graduates. There was a significant difference in the scores in one of the classes of BSN graduates. Implications for future research suggest additional comparative studies as well as using a different instrument along with expansion of the study to include master's students and nursing faculty.
本研究的目的是确定学生在完成护理学理学学士学位（BSN）课程后，批判性思维评估测试的得分是否会高于入学时。目前就读于BSN课程的学生在课程的第一个月接受了沃森-格拉泽批判性思维评估测试，并在毕业前1个月再次进行了该测试。本研究纳入了BSN学生和BSN/注册护士（RN）学生。数据分析表明，在所有BSN/RN毕业生班级和两个BSN毕业生班级中均未发现显著差异。在一个BSN毕业生班级的分数上存在显著差异。对未来研究的启示表明，需要进行更多的比较研究，以及使用不同的工具，并扩大研究范围以纳入硕士研究生和护理教师。
