Abstract
Background: Developing a growth mindset is essential for nursing students’ learning and adaptation. The inner arts process is one way to effectively promote this development.
Objectives: To compare changes in growth mindset and fixed mindset of nursing students before and after participating in the inner arts process and to analyze the extent of the effect of the inner arts process on changes in growth mindset and fixed mindset of nursing students.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 23 first-year nursing students who participated in the inner arts process, which included aesthetic training in visual perception, listening, movement, and hands-on practice, for a total of 28 hours of intervention. The data were collected using the Mindset Assessment Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and Cliff's Delta for effect size.
Results: After participating in the inner arts process, significant changes were found in both the decrease of fixed mindset (from 2.98±1.12 to 2.45±1.08, p < .01) and the increase of growth mindset (from 4.56±0.89 to 4.82±0.76, p < .05), with small effect sizes (δ = -0.31 and 0.21, respectively). The analysis items revealed significant changes in three aspects: increased belief in self-change ability, decreased belief in the inability to change important aspects of oneself, and reduced belief that intelligence cannot be changed.
Conclusions: The inner arts process is a useful tool for developing a growth mindset and reducing the fixed mindset of nursing students.
