Methods Totally 270 clinical nurses from six tertiary first-class hospitals in Tianjin City were investigated with Nursing Staff Self-directed Learning Competence Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale and Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire, and then, the datum was analyzed by professional statistical software. Results The total score of self-directed learning competence was (124.96 ± 21.73) points, the total mean score was (3.68 ± 0.64) points, while the mean score of different dimension from high to low was self-motivational belief (3.78±0.67) points, self-monitoring and regulation (3.65 ± 0.69) points, task analysis (3.61 ± 0.76) points, self-evaluation (3.47 ± 0.72) points. The total mean score of emotional intelligence was (3.87±0.53) points, the total mean score of resilience was (2.74±0.54) points, the total mean score of psychological empowerment was (3.74±0.57) points. The total score and score of all dimensions of emotional intelligence, resilience as well as psychological empowerment were positively correlated to self-directed learning competence(r=0.269-0.650, P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference of total mean score of nurses′ self-directed learning competence from different department in this investigation, F=8.407, P <0.01, while there was no statistically significant difference of total mean score of nurses′self-directed learning competence by different gender, different marital status, different cultural level, different professional and technical titles and different establishment, F or t values was-1.626,-0. 0387, 0.882, 0.926 and 1.125 respectively, P > 0.05. Self-reliance, self-determination, emotional use, self-efficacy, perseverance were indicated as predictive factors of self-directed learning competence among clinical nurses, which explained 58.5 percent of the variance. Conclusions The self-directed learning competence of clinical nurses was at moderate level. The self-directed learning competence can be influenced by emotional intelligence, resilience and psychological empowerment. So we can enhance their self-directed learning competence by improving emotional intelligence,resilience and psychological empowerment.
