“…These findings are consistent with previous studies. For example, older nurses have a higher level of critical thinking than younger ones (Chang et al., 2011; Chen et al., 2019; Feng et al., 2010; Ludin, 2018; Wangensteen et al., 2010; Yurdanur, 2016; Zuriguel‐Pérez et al, 2018), and nurses with more experience report a better critical thinking ability than those with less experience (Chang et al., 2011; Chen et al., 2019; Feng et al., 2010; Ludin, 2018). Older and experienced nurses are more mature in their way of thinking (Chen et al., 2019; Ludin, 2018).…”

Aim To measure the level of critical thinking among Vietnamese professional nurses and to identify the related factors. Design A cross‐sectional design was used. Methods The total sample included 420 professional nurses. Data were collected from July to September 2019 in three public hospitals located in Southwestern Vietnam. The level of critical thinking was measured using the Vietnamese version of the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire. The data were analysed using the independent Student's t tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and regression analysis. Results Most of the participants had a low (48.3%) or moderate (45.5%) level of critical thinking. Age, gender, ethnicity, education level, health condition, duration of working as a nurse, duration of working in the current hospital, having heard the term “critical thinking” and work position had an impact on the critical thinking ability. Work position and gender explained 11% of the total variance in critical thinking ability.

“…For nurse educators and nurse managers, they should provide more chances and take targeted measures to help nurses to nurture critical thinking disposition in educational and professional contexts. First, nurse educators and managers should have the knowledge of critical thinking and make efforts to be an ideal critical thinker because their habits and behaviours may influence the development of critical thinking disposition of nurses (Mangena & Chabeli, ; Raymond & Profetto‐McGrath, ; Zuriguel‐Perez et al, ). Second, the individual characteristics of open‐minded, flexible, creative, supportive, responsive and approachable are crucial for educators and managers to create an encouraging and learner‐centred learning/staff‐centred working environment for asking questions, discussing and thinking critically which is essential for cultivating the disposition towards critical thinking (Chan, ).…”

Aims and Objectives To explore the relationship between critical thinking disposition and research competence among clinical nurses. Background The development of the nursing discipline and evidence‐based practice calls for research competence and critical thinking disposition among clinical nurses. The verification of the relationship between critical thinking disposition and research competence could make contributions to promoting related knowledge building and providing practical implications for nurses, nurse educators and nurse managers. However, there is a lack of evidence exploring the relationship between critical thinking disposition and research competence in clinical nurses. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods A total of 156 clinical nurses from two tertiary hospitals participated in this study. The Chinese Version of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory and Research Competence Scale for Clinical Nurses were used to measure critical thinking disposition and nursing research competence, respectively. Data were collected in September 2017. Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation and linear regression were used to analyse data. The STROBE checklist was used in reporting this study. Results The clinical nurses surveyed showed a positive inclination to general critical thinking but reported an overall low level of nursing research competence. A moderate degree of positive correlation was found between critical thinking disposition and research competence among clinical nurses. Educational degree was also found as an influencing factor of nursing research competence of clinical nurses. Conclusion The critical thinking disposition of clinical nurses is positively related to their research competence. Relevance to clinical practice Nurses with a passion for nursing research should pay attention to improving their critical thinking dispositions. Nurse educators and managers should provide better learning, working and research environments and more supports to cultivate critical thinking disposition and improve nursing research competence in nursing research education and practice.

Objectives: to validate the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire regarding cultural aspects and metric properties. Methods: a methodological research carried out through cross-cultural adaptation, face and content validity, dimensional construct and known groups validity, test-retest reliability and internal consistency. 511 nurses from four hospitals participated in the study, of which 54 participated in retest. Results: the instrument validation for Brazilian Portuguese maintained equivalences, according to the original version. The dimensional validity demonstrated adjustment to the tetrafactorial structure of the original version (GFI=0.69). There were statistically significant differences in critical thinking skills between nurses with graduate degrees and who undertook training, reading articles, developing research and working in an institution with a longer time implementation of the Nursing Process. The instrument showed temporal stability (ICC 073-0.84; p<0.001) and adequate internal consistency (α=0.97). Conclusions: the instrument proved to be valid and reliable for the studied population.

Critical thinking: A comparative analysis between nurse managers and registered nurses

Abstract: This study provides substantive evidence of the levels of critical thinking among nurse managers. When introducing strategies to enhance these skills, the associated occupational factors should be taken into account.
