Abstract
Purpose: This study sought to identify the effects of emotional intelligence, self-leadership, and critical thinking disposition on clinical reasoning competence among nursing students. Methods: Data were collected from 149 nursing college students using structured self-reported questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis via the software SPSS version 25.0. Results: Clinical reasoning competence was positively correlated with emotional intelligence (r=.61, p<.001), self-leadership (r=.50, p<.001), and critical thinking disposition (r=.48, p<.001). Emotional intelligence (β=.46, p<.001), self-leadership (β=.24, p=.002), and age (β=-.15 p=.017) were identified as factors that influence clinical reasoning competence(Adjusted R2=.42). Conclusion: To enhance clinical reasoning competence among nursing students, their emotional intelligence and self-leadership need to be improved, and the age of students should be considered, as the level of clinical reasoning competence tends to decrease in students over 31 years old.
