This study aimed to determine the relationship between problem-solving and nursing process application skills of nursing.
Methods
This is a longitudinal and correlational study. The sample included 71 students. An information form, Problem-Solving Inventory, and nursing processes the students presented at the end of clinical courses were used for data collection.
Findings
Although there was no significant relationship between problem-solving skills and nursing process grades, improving problem-solving skills increased successful grades.
Conclusions
Problem-solving skills and nursing process skills can be concomitantly increased.
Clinical Revelance
Students were suggested to use critical thinking, practical approaches, and care plans, as well as revising nursing processes in order to improve their problem-solving skills and nursing process application skills.
