Abstract:
Objective To investigatethe current condition and correlation of metacognitive abilities and professional values in undergraduate nursing students, and analyze the influence of metacognitive ability on professional values. Methods Totally 310 undergraduate nursing students from a medical university during October to December 2017 were selected by convenience sampling method. All the students were investigated with general information questionnaire, Metacognitive Ability Scale and College Students' Occupational Values Scale. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between metacognitive ability and professional values of undergraduate nursing students, and stratified regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of professional values of undergraduate nursing students. A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed and 300 valid questionnaires were collected. Results The total score of metacognitive ability in undergraduate nursing students was (74.97±10.20), and the total score of professional values in undergraduate nursing students was (123.32±14.51). Undergraduate nursing students' metacognitive ability dimensions were positively correlated with professional values (P＜ 0.01). The metacognitive ability of undergraduate nursing students has a significant predictive effect on their occupational values (P＜ 0.01). Conclusions The metacognitive ability and professional values of undergraduate nursing students need to be improved, and their metacognitive ability can significantly affect their professional values. Nursing educators can promote the improvement of their professional values through cultivating the metacognitive ability of undergraduate nursing students.
