Abstract:

Documenting the nursing process remains an issue in hospital settings. It is still found that nurses have not developed adequate critical thinking skills. Documentation of the nursing process from assessment to evaluation has not been described completely and precisely. This study aimed to expound the determinants of nurses’ critical thinking by documenting the nursing process at the Regional General Hospital Banda Aceh Municipality. Quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design was employed. The research population was 247 nurses, sample size was determined using the Cohen table with a total of 151 respondents and 151 medical records, sampling used purposive sampling. Data collection tools used the California Critical Disposition Thinking Inventory (CCTDI) questionnaire, data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistical tests; chi-square. The results showed that there was a relationship between truth seeking (p=0.017), open mindedness (p=0.006), analysis (p=0.005), systematicity (p=0.011), self-confidence (p=0.017), curiosity (p=0.011), maturity (p=0.004), and critical thinking (p=0.041) with documentation of the nursing process. Based on the results of this research, it was necessary to maintain and improve positive critical thinking skills in nurses so that they were able to document the nursing process well so as to improve quality nursing care.
