Abstract

This study was aimed at identifying the factors of creative ability influencing problem-solving skills for University students majoring in nursing science. A descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 248 students enrolled in a 4-year undergraduate academic program for nursing in one University located in an urban area of Korea. This study used: (a) 25 items of Process Behavior Survey, and (b) 35 items of the Integrative Creativity Scale. The data were collected from Nov. 8th toward Nov. 26th, 2010; the research was conducted through voluntary participation after an explanation about the research. The data were also analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program, using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression methods. Mean score of the level of problem-solving process was 3.62(${\pm}.448$). Problem-solving process was significantly related to creative ability(p<.01). Problem-solving process was significantly influenced by flexibility and elaboration in account for 42.4%. These results imply that in order to foster problem-solving ability, nursing professors need to develop nursing students' creative ability and its factors.

본 논문의 목적은 간호학생의 문제해결과정과 창의적 능력의 관계를 살펴보고, 간호학생의 문제해결과정과 각 단계에 영향을 미치는 창의적 능력요인을 규명하기 위함이다. 4년제 대학교 간호학과에 재학 중인 학생 248명을 대상으로 문제해결과정검사도구와 자기보고형 통합 창의성 척도 문항으로 구성된 구조적 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였고, SPSS/WIN19.0을 사용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation 및 다중회귀분석법으로 분석하였다. 간호학생의 문제해결과정 수준은 5점 만점 중 평균 3.62점이었고, 창의적 능력은 6점 만점 중 평균 3.96점이었다. 문제해결과정수준은 창의적 능력과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고(p<.01), 문제해결과정수준에 영향을 미치는 창의적 능력 요인은 융통성과 정교성이었고(p<.01), 설명력은 각각 42.4%였다. 이에 간호학생 및 간호사의 문제해결과정을 높이기 위해 간호교육에서 창의성을 계발할 수 있는 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.
