Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among critical care competence, knowledge related to critical care, and satisfaction with clinical practice from third year college nursing students. Methods: The data were collected from questionnaires concerning critical care competence, knowledge related to critical care, and satisfaction with clinical practice given to 85 nursing students during June 2009. Results: The mean score of total critical care competence was 84.01 (). Total knowledge related to critical care was 6.99 (). Finally, satisfaction with clinical practice was 86.88 (). Regarding critical care competence, common critical care competence was highest followed by neurologic care competence, cardiovascular care competence, and finally respiratory care competence. The mean score of knowledge related to cardiovascular care was highest followed by common critical care knowledge, respiratory care knowledge, and neurologic care knowledge for knowledge related to critical care competence. Critical care competence had a significant positive correlation with satisfaction with clinical practice but had no correlation with knowledge related to critical care. Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that developing educations of clinical practice in hospitals and laboratory practice in colleges for respiratory and cardiovascular critical care is necessary to promote critical care competence and satisfy clinical experiences of nursing students.
