摘要：Objective:Problem-solving should be a fundamental component of nursing education because it is a core ability for professional nurses.For more effective learning,nursing students must understand the relationship between self-directed learning readiness and problem-solving ability.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships among self-directed learning readiness,problemsolving ability,and academic self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students.Methods:From November to December 2016,research was conducted among 500 nursing undergraduate students in Tianjin,China,using a self-directed learning readiness scale,an academic self-efficacy scale,a questionnaire related to problem-solving,and selfdesigned demographics.The response rate was 85.8％.Results:For Chinese nursing students,self-directed learning readiness and academic self-efficacy reached a medium-to-high level,while problem-solving abilities were at a low level.There were significant positive correlations among the students' self-directed learning readiness,academic self-efficacy,and problem-solving ability.Furthermore,academic self-efficacy demonstrated a mediating effect on the relationship between the students' self-directed learning readiness and problem-solving ability.Conclusions:To enhance students' problem-solving ability,nursing educators should pay more attention to the positive impact of self-directed learning readiness and self-efficacy in nursing students' education.
