Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation of critical thinking disposition and problem solving process, and the simulation-based assessment of clinical competence based on a survey of college nursing students.
Methods : In this descriptive correlation study, data for 214 nursing students were analyzed using t-test and Pearson correlation coefficients.
Results : Critical thinking disposition, problem solving process, and simulation-based assessment of clinical competence averaged 3.76¡¾0.46 (out of 5), 3.67¡¾0.47 (5), and 1.51¡¾0.17 (2), respectively. A significant difference in scores for simulation-based assessment of clinical competence was found between the high-scoring group and low-scoring group in critical thinking disposition. A significant positive correlation was found between critical thinking disposition and nursing assessment, a sub-domain of clinical competence.
Conclusion : The results suggest that success in simulation-based learning requires critical thinking disposition in the nursing students, and their critical thinking disposition plays a positive role in nursing assessment, which evaluates the patient¡¯s status in a complex situation. Simulation-based learning programs help assess the students¡¯ levels in their clinical judgement and performance, and identify their strengths and weaknesses so that the instructor can evaluate and improve the current teaching method.
