The Effect of Problem Solving Ability and Self-Directed Learning on Clinical Competency in Nursing Students
Han You-Jeong

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving, self-directed learning, and clinical competency in nursing students. I aimed to provide basic data for increasing nursing students¡¯ clinical competency by identifying its influencing factors.

Methods: Participants were 136 students in M city. Data was collected from June 1¡­30, 2020. Data analysis was conducted using ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regressions analysis in SPSS, version 21.0.

Results: Problem-solving (?=.373, p=.010) and self-directed learning (?=.410, p=.012) both significantly influenced clinical competency; the first two explained 21.8% of the variance in the latter.

Conclusion: Results underlined that the higher the problem-solving and the self-directed learning, the higher the clinical competency. Thus, I highlight the necessity of developing an program that is effective at increasing nursing students¡¯ problem-solving and self-directed learning, such as intervention programs that simulate clinical situations and require students to creatively/comprehensively utilize their interpersonal skills.
