| description | Critical thinking skill is an important skill for nurses to make a better clinical decision
in providing safe care. Critical thinking dispositions development is supported with
sufficient self-esteem. The present study aimed to measure the level of critical
thinking disposition and self-esteem among undergraduate nursing students
in a public university in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a
university involving 99 students. Data were collected by self-report questionnaires
and analysed quantitatively. A total of 97% of the nursing student had a high level
of critical thinking dispositions. Almost¾3/4 of the students had a moderate level of
perceived self-esteem (74.7%). The critical thinking dispositions were significantly
related to perceived self-esteem (p<0.044). Overall, the nursing student of this
study had high critical thinking disposition and moderate self-esteem, which is
very important for them to become a good nurse with critical thinking skill in the
future. |
