Relationships between the objective structured clinical examination, Depression Cognitive Scale, self-efficacy, and problem solving strategies of sophomore nursing students

초록

Practical nursing training includes the learning of knowledge, skills, and attitude that are applied in clinical situations. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) method is an effective tool for evaluating the clinical nursing skills of nursing students. Depression is an important stress factor that can reduce academic achievement. However, self-efficacy with respect to the ability to provide patient care is vital for nurses who may be required to initiate treatments. The clinical field also requires that nurses use problem solving strategies (PSS) effectively. In this study, we conducted a survey to examine the relationship between the OSCE, Depression Cognitive Scale (DCS), self-efficacy (SE) and PSS in sophomore nursing students. We collected data data from 90 sophomore students at Namseoul University The data were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA test, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and stepwised multiple regression using SPSS 18.0. The stepwise multiple regression analysis shows that DCS(p=<.001), SE(p=.014), and PSS(p=.004) had significant effects on OSCE performance. Lower depression (B=-.164), higher self-efficacy (B=.025), and higher PSS (B=.071) appeared to be related to higher OSCE performance. DCS explains 64.3% of the total variation in OSCE, DCS and SE explained 66.3%. of the total variation and the addition of PSS increased this to 69.1%. Finally, the hit ratio of DCS, SE, and Pss was 69.1%.
