Abstract: (1793 Views)
Introduction: Nurses are of those people who experience high levels of stress throughout their careers. However, the results of studies show that nursing students lack problem solving skills. This study compares the problem solving skills among nursing students of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This is a descriptive causal-comparative study. The target population included nursing students of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in 2018. Sample was determined according to Morgan table, and census method was used for sampling. Required information was collected through Cassidy and Long problem-solving questionnaires. Data were analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS version 22 software.
Results: A total of 200 nursing students participated in this study. The results showed that the mean scores of problem solving skills of nursing students studying in first, fourth and eighth semester were (12.74 ± 4.5), (14.24 ± 3.60) and (16.60 ± 3.70), respectively. The result of ANOVA analysis showed a significant difference among students’ problem-solving skills scores in the different semesters. Using the Tukey Post Hoc test it was determined that the difference was between first and eighth-semester students (P = 0.000), and between fourth and eighth-semester students (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Problem-solving skills and knowledge-based decision-making are among the expected behaviors of nursing students, and learning these skills should begin during their student years.
