his study explored the relationship between nursing students’ critical thinking disposition and their mental self-supporting
ability, in order to obtain a profile and determine the psychological predictors of critical thinking. A cross-sectional descriptive
study was conducted using convenience sampling from four nursing schools. Findings indicate that there was a positive correlation
between these two variables and students’ self-decision, self-cognition, self-confidence, and self-responsibility played a significant
role in their critical thinking disposition. Nursing educators should make an effort to improve the students’ critical thinking ability
in these four aspects.
