Abstract:

Methods By convenient sampling from April to June 2014, a total of 404 nurses from 4 district hospitals in suburban areas in Nanjing were investigated with the nurse self-learning ability rating scale and critical thinking disposition inventory in Chinese version (CTDI-CV). Results The total score of suburban nurse self-leaning ability was (122. 57 ± 18. 00) while that of critical thinking ability was (276. 03 ± 24. 43). The single factor analysis presented that nurses with different occupational title had different level of critical thinking with statistical significance (F=6. 788,P<0. 05). The influencing factors of nurse self-leaning ability and critical thinking ability included whether they involved research, whether they were nursing mainstay or manager. The self-leaning ability was positively correlated with the critical thinking ability by Pearson analysis ( r=0. 378,P<0. 01). Conclusions The self-leaning ability and critical thinking ability of nurses in the four hospitals in Nanjing are in the moderate level, and they have a positive interacted relationship. According to the influencing factors, nursing managers should take appropriate and effective measures to develop and improve nurses, both abilities.
