Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between metacognitive ability and self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduates, and the mediating effect of self-worth and interpersonal communication between them by using a chain mediation model. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 851 nursing undergraduates and they were surveyed by using Metacognitive Assessment Inventory, Adolescent Sense of Self-worth Scale, Supportive Communication Scale and Self-directed Learning Ability Scale. Process macro program in SPSS was used to analyze the chain mediating effect of self-worth and interpersonal communication between metacognitive ability and self-directed learning ability among nursing undergraduates. Results Metacognitive ability, self-worth, and interpersonal communication ability were all positively correlated with the self-directed learning ability (r=0.434, r=0.457, r=0.380, all P<0.001). The indirect effect of nursing undergraduates’ metacognitive ability on self-directed learning ability was established, with a total indirect effect of 0.051. The specific mediating effect of self-worth and interpersonal communication skills accounted for 26.3% and 11.0% of the total indirect, respectively. The chain mediating effect between self-worth and interpersonal communication skill on nursing undergraduates' metacognitive ability and self-directed learning ability accounted for 5.9% of the total indirect effect. Conclusion Metacognitive ability, self-worth, and interpersonal communication ability are positively correlated with their self-directed learning ability among nursing undergraduates. Metacognitive ability may indirectly affect the self-directed learning ability among nursing undergraduates through self-worth and interpersonal communication ability, which may provide new directions for nursing educators to improve the self-directed learning ability in nursing undergraduates.
