Methods:A total of 469 undergraduate nursing students in China Medical University were recruited and assessed with general information questionnaire,high-order thinking abilities scale,self-determination motivation scale and personal knowledge management Questionnaire.
Results:The score of high-order thinking abilities for undergraduate nursing students was (4.42±0.51) points,the score of self-determination motivation was (3.84±0.55) points, the score of personal knowledge management was (3.84±0.55) points. High-order thinking abilities were significantly positively related to self-determination motivation and personal knowledge management, respectively (r value was 0.437, 0.499, P<0.01 respectively).Grade and whether they were student cadres had no significant predictive effect on higher-level thinking ability of nursing undergraduates (β value was 0.000, 0.064, P > 0.05 respectively).Self-determination motivation positively predicted high-order thinking abilities (β value was 0.270, P<0.01), whereas personal knowledge management positively predicted high-order thinking abilities (β value was 0.381, P<0.01). Structural equation results showed that the direct effect value of higher-order thinking abilities of personal knowledge management was 0.41, and the indirect effect value of self-determining motivation on higher-order thinking abilities was 0.16,self-determination motivation played an intermediary role in the sense of undergraduate nursing students high-order thinking abilities and personal knowledge management.
