Abstract
This descriptive research study investigated the mediating effect of self-leadership on the relationship between critical thinking and problem solving ability of nursing university students. The data were collected from nursing university students in G city. Korea, from 20 Sep. 2019 through 30 Sep. 2019. General characteristics, critical thinking, problem solving ability and self-leadership were surveyed using structured questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 21.0. The mediating effect of self-leadership on the relationship between critical thinking and problem solving ability was tested using Baron & Kenny's 3-step hierarchical regression analysis. There were positive correlations between problem solving ability and critical thinking(r=.48, p<.001), between problem solving ability and self-leadership(r=.73, p<.001) and between critical thinking and self-leadership(r=.70, p<.001). In addition, self-leadership had a partial mediating effect(Z=6.64 p<.001) on the relationship between critical thinking and problem-solving ability. Therefore, strengthening of self-leadership is necessary to improve the problem-solving ability of nursing university students. Various strategies through regular education courses and extracurricular activities should be prepared for this purpose.
