Abstract
Objectives: To assess CT, SE, and perceptions of EE of nursing students in Greece, and explore the potential associations between them.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a Nursing department from February to May 2024. We used the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM), the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) questionnaires.
Results: A total of 185 nursing students participated. EE was generally positive, with moderate CT disposition and positive self-esteem. Robust regression showed a positive association between EE and CT disposition. Structural equation modeling indicated that SE mediates this association between EE and the Reflective Skepticism sub-scale of CTDS.
Conclusions: Suitable interventions could be implemented to enhance the CT of nursing students through the utilization of SE and EE.
