Predictive factors of nursing problem-solving skills among nursing students during their first fundamental nursing practicum at a university in Bangkok
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The first fundamental nursing practicum for nursing students often leads to stress and pressure due to environmental changes and the application of knowledge into practice. This requires cognitive skills and nursing problem-solving skills in patient care. Resilience and nursing problem-solving skills affect students’ ability to confidently approach and manage situations on a hospital ward.
Objectives: This descriptive correlational research study investigated resilience, nursing problem-solving skills, and the relationships between resilience and nursing problem-solving skills among nursing students in the first fundamental nursing practicum.
Methods: The participants consisted of 55 second-year nursing students studying Fundamentals of Nursing courses. The research instruments were the resilience inventory and problem-solving skills of nursing students. The reliabilities of the questionnaires were tested using Cronbach’s alpha with coefficients 0.98 and 0.94, respectively. The data were analyzed using frequency, mean, percentage, standard deviation, max, min, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation.
Results: The overall mean score of resilience and nursing problem-solving skills were high, and resilience was positively correlated with nursing problem-solving skills with statistical significance (p<.01). Resilience in life was a significant predictor of nursing problem-solving skills among nursing students practicing on the ward for the first time (β=.644, p<.01).
Conclusions: Resilience is positively related to student nurses' problem-solving skills during their first fundamental nursing practicum, suggesting that most nursing students can effectively address and manage nursing problem situations.
