Summary
Nursing students' problem-solving skills are significantly influenced by metacognition and communication competence. Enhancing these areas through targeted education is crucial for improving clinical performance.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Clinical Competency
- Cognitive Psychology
Background:
- Problem-solving ability is a critical competency for nursing students navigating complex clinical environments.
- Developing effective problem-solving skills prepares future nurses for diverse healthcare challenges.
- Identifying key influencing factors is essential for curriculum development and student support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors influencing the problem-solving ability of nursing students.
- To determine the relative impact of metacognition and communication competence on problem-solving skills.
- To provide evidence-based recommendations for enhancing nursing student competencies.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 192 nursing college students (second year and beyond).
- Data collected via an online questionnaire assessing general characteristics, metacognition, and communication competence.
- Hierarchical multiple regression analysis used to examine factors associated with problem-solving ability.
Main Results:
- The average problem-solving ability score among nursing students was 3.63 out of 5.
- Age, communication competence, and metacognition were identified as significant factors affecting problem-solving ability.
- Metacognition demonstrated the greatest influence, with these variables collectively explaining 51.2% of the variance in problem-solving ability.
Conclusions:
- Metacognition and communication competence are key targets for improving nursing students' problem-solving skills.
- Educational interventions should focus on enhancing metacognitive strategies and communication competencies.
- Curricular and extracurricular activities can be designed to foster these essential nursing competencies.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Problem-solving is the ability to apply general physical principles to specific situations, usually expressed by equations. It is an essential skill in physics, and can also be useful for applying physics in everyday life as well. Analytical skills and problem-solving abilities can be applied to new situations, compared to a list of facts, which can never be extensive enough to include every possible circumstance. To solve physics problems, a certain amount of creativity and insight is...
