Abstract

<p>〔Purpose〕This study aimed to identify awareness about sense of value, strength, and weakness of nursing students through reflection on events/situations that had the biggest impression on them during the clinical practice, and examine the relationship between the presence or absence of awareness and critical thinking disposition.</p><p>〔Method〕We administered the reflective journals about the most memorable events/situations during the clinical practice and a scale to measure the critical thinking disposition to fourth grade undergraduate nursing students. Reflective journals created by 35 nursing students were qualitatively analyzed, and scores of a scale to measure the critical thinking disposition compared with the presence or absence of awareness by reflective journals.</p><p>〔Result〕Twenty students（57.1%） indicated that they had gained awareness through reflection, seeing themselves as someone who either “puts a higher priority on his/her own feelings or situation than those of patients”, “is unable to cope with unexpected situations”, “is able to think objectively and respond to the negative feelings”, “gives respect to patients’ thoughts”, “has been trying to avoid thinking what is regarded as fearful”, or “feels the joy with the patients”. </p><p>There was no significant difference in scores of a scale to measure the critical thinking disposition and the presence or absence of awareness. </p><p>〔Conclusion〕As a result, nursing students’ awareness through reflection on the clinical practice is not only weakness but also strength. The elucidation about reflective thinking to facilitate the development of awareness and critical thinking is need in future.</p>
