Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of grit and problem-solving skills on clinical competency among fourth-year nursing students who had experienced clinical practice. This descriptive survey research was conducted from March 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 24.0 statistical program. Out of a total of 130 respondents, 124 participated, yielding a response rate of 95.4%. The results showed that grit scored 3.11, problem-solving skills scored 3.07, and clinical competency scored 3.27. There were significant positive correlations between grit and problem-solving skills (r=.510, p<.01), clinical competency and problem-solving skills (r=.381, p<.01), and clinical competency and grit (r=.522, p<.01). Factors influencing clinical competency included grade point average (𝛽=.240, p=.002), motivation for further study (𝛽=-.149, p=.041), satisfaction with clinical practice (𝛽=-.199, p=.011), and grit (𝛽=.329, p<.001), with these factors explaining 24.4% of the variance. Therefore, based on the findings of this study, it is necessary to develop tailored educational programs considering various characteristics to enhance students' grit within the nursing curriculum.

이 연구는 임상실습을 경험한 4학년 간호대학생을 대상으로 그릿과 문제해결능력이 임상수행능력에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 이 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 자료수집은 2024년 3월 1일부터 2024년 3월 31까지 시행하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/ WIN 24.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 응답자 총 130명 중 124명이 응답하여 응답률은 95.4%였다. 연구결과 그릿은 3.11점, 문제해결능력은 3.07점, 임상수행능력은 3.27점으로 나타났다. 그릿과 문제해결능력(r=.510, p<.01), 임상수행능력과 문제해결능력(r=.381, p<.01), 임상수행능력과 그릿(r=.522, p<.01)이 서로 유의한 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. 임상수행능력에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 학점(𝛽=.240, p=.002), 진학동기(𝛽=-.149, p=.041). 임상실습만족도(𝛽=-.199, p=.011) 및 그릿(𝛽=.329, p<.001),이었고, 이 요인들의 설명력은 24.4%였다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 통해서 간호학과 교육 과정에서 학생들의 그릿을 증진시킬 수 있도록 다양한 특성을 고려한 맞춤형 교육 프로그램 설계가 필요하다.
