Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing students' communication competency, critical thinking competency, and self-leadership.
Methods: The study was a descriptive-correlational study which used a convenience sample of 132 nursing students drawn from 2 universities. Descriptive statistics t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, and Pearson's correlation were utilized for data analysis.
Results: The results of this study were as follows: Nursing students who were the second eldest child showed higher communication ability than those who were an only child or the oldest child (2=6.45, p=.040). Male students had higher critical thinking competency than female students (z=?2.60, p=.009). Students with a high degree of college life satisfaction had high levels of communication competency (2=25.87, p=＜.001), critical thinking competency (2=8.60, p=.014), and self-leadership (2=9.09 p=.011). Nursing students with a high degree of major satisfaction had higher communication competency (t=4.56, p=＜.001), critical thinking competency (t=4.38, p=＜.001), and self-leadership (t=3.27, p=.001). Nursing students with a high degree of club activity involvement had higher communication competency (t=2.39, p=.018), critical thinking competency (t=2.71, p=.008), and self-leadership (t=2.99, p=.003). A significant positive correlation between communication competency, critical thinking competency, and self-leadership was demonstrated amongst nursing student participants (r=.71, p＜.001).
Conclusion: Communication competency, critical thinking competency, and self-leadership were all found to be positively correlated. Therefore, in order to improve the communication competency, critical thinking competency, and self-leadership among nursing college students, it is necessary to prepare a plan to increase the degree of satisfaction with their nursing department and major, and investigate ways to support greater involvement in various club activities.
