“…This can be credited to the fact that learning activities, methods, and assessments are the same as long as they are in the same year and course level. This result of the present study agrees with Hasanpour et al (2015) and Harrison (2019) who found that age has no significant difference with critical thinking. This indicates that regardless of age, the need to be taught how to build their critical spirit as well as how to use critical thinking as a helpful tool is a must so that students' decisionmaking capacity and performance in difficult clinical situations improve after graduation.…”

Studying the relationship between critical thinking and academic achievement is of great importance because both are crucial in producing nurses that would deliver quality care and nurses who would be critical thinkers in the midst of constant evolution in the health care delivery system. This study aims to determine the relationship between critical thinking skills and academic achievement among undergraduate nursing students. Further, it aims to determine factors that may influence the critical thinking of students. This study used a descriptive correlational design. It was conducted at the Nursing Department, College of Health Sciences Prince Sultan Military College, Saudi Arabia. There were 67 female participants from two types of nursing pathways. The data collection was conducted between March and May 2021. The overall averages of HSRT scores of the Baccalaureate and Bridging were 2.35 and 2.25, respectively. The HSRT scores indicated that the critical thinking skills of participants from both nursing pathways were low. There was no significant relationship between critical thinking skills and academic performance (r=.11; p<.05). Critical thinking skills were not manifested among the student nurses. Further, there was no found significant relationship between age, nursing pathway, and year level. Moreover, there is no significant relationship found between academic performance and the components of HSRT. These results are useful for understanding group characteristics, comparing and contrasting similar groups on specific attributes or skills, and for guiding the development of more targeted educational or training programs.

“…Secondly, the findings that workplace spirituality positively predicts POS and job performance support confirm the affective event theory. Third, this study added to the emerging empirical evidence that gender is a less distinguishing factor in employees' work attitudes and behavior (Harrison, 2019;Liu et al, 2019). This growing body of knowledge calls for a common phenomenon to reexamine gender as a control variable in organizational behavior studies.…”

The need to fully exploit human resources for competitive advantage has brought spirituality into the work setting. The study set to examine the predictive relationship workplace spirituality has with perceived organizational support and job performance. The assessment is premised on Rego and Cunha's five-workplace spirituality dimension model. This study adopted a correlational design with a self-administered questionnaire of 118 university administrative employees at a university. The research hypotheses were tested with regression analysis. Results show that composite workplace spirituality correlates positively and significantly with perceived organizational support and job performance. However, only a few of the dimensions show positive and significant results. This study shows that enhancing workplace spirituality improves employees perceived organizational support and job performance. Therefore, it is recommended that human resource management practitioners recognize the influence of workplace spirituality in the effective functioning of the organization.

“…e positive and significant relationship between age and critical thinking reported in the present research and studies by Hassanpour et al [18] and Karadege et al [2] can be explained by the higher effectiveness of environmental trainings in older students and their higher educational and clinical experiences. In contrast, Harrison [16], Hunter et al [3], Hassanpour et al [17], and Mousazadeh et al [10] reported no relationships between age and critical thinking. e present findings suggested significant differences between the two genders only in terms of engagement dimension of critical thinking.…”

“…e effects of individual factors on critical thinking skills have been also reported differently in literature. Some studies suggested insignificant relationships of the critical thinking ability with age and gender in nursing students [10,15,16], whereas other studies showed relationships between gender and critical thinking skills [5,17]. e effect of academic year on the tendency towards critical thinking has also been differently reported.…”

Introduction. Given the vital role of critical thinking and possibility of developing this meta-cognitive skill through training programs, the present study was conducted to determine the tendency and effective factors in critical thinking in nursing students. Materials and Methods. The present study is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in 2020 in a school of nursing in northern Iran. Participants in the study were all second to eighth semester nursing students studying in the faculty who entered the study by the census method. Inclusion criteria included employment in the field of nursing in the second semester and above, and exclusion criteria were employment and incomplete completion of the questionnaire questions. The required information was prepared in two parts: the first part of recording demographic information including age, gender, marital status, semester, average score, previous semester average score, and level of interest in the major and the second part was the adopted Ricketts’ critical thinking disposition questionnaire. SPSS 26 software and descriptive and analytical statistics were used to analyze the data. Results. The total average score of critical thinking disposition obtained as 120.20 ± 14.05 35 was found to positively and significantly relate to age (r = 0.150, p = 0.04 , d = 0.30), academic 36 semester ( p = 0.001 , d = 0.25), and interest in the major ( p = 0.003 , d = 0.38). Dimensions of 37 innovation and maturity were also significantly associated with academic semester and 38 interested in the major. Also, the total score of critical thinking and its dimensions in married people was higher than single, but this difference was not statistically significant. The results of analysis of variance showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the mean score of tendency to critical thinking and different semesters. Conclusion. Identifying the effective factors in critical thinking disposition can assist teachers in developing lesson plans and academic counseling, and at the macro level, can help with educational planning and revision of curricula.
