About this trial

Study Title:

Effect of Critical Thinking Disposition Program on Developing Reflective Thinking and Motivation to Learn among Nursing Students

Study Description:

This study aims to investigate the effect of a Critical Thinking Disposition Program on nursing students' reflective thinking and motivation to learn. In the rapidly evolving healthcare environment, nurses must possess both critical thinking skills and disposition to make accurate clinical judgments and provide high-quality professional care. Many novice nurses lack critical thinking disposition, which can result in inaccurate clinical judgments and an inability to identify causes of problems.

The program will target nursing students to enhance their internal motivation to think critically, solve problems, evaluate ideas, and make informed decisions. The intervention focuses on developing cognitive strategies, attitudes, and behaviors that support self-motivated learning and professional competence. Outcomes will be measured by evaluating students' reflective thinking and motivation to learn before and after the program.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Improvement in reflective thinking scores

Increase in motivation to learn scores

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Development of critical thinking disposition attributes such as truth-seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, inquisitiveness, self-confidence, and maturity

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Critical thinking disposition program

    Other intervention

    structured educational intervention designed to enhance reflective thinking skills and motivation to learn. The program includes multiple interactive sessions focusing on critical analysis, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-reflection activities. Students will engage in exercises that encourage them to evaluate clinical scenarios, reflect on their learning experiences, and apply critical thinking strategies in practical nursing situations. The aim is to measure the program's impact on students' reflective thinking ability, critical thinking disposition, and learning motivation compared to their baseline levels. All participants will follow the standard nursing curriculum in addition to the intervention
