Abstract

The objective of this survey research is to study 1) the reflective thinking behaviors and ethical behaviors, and 2) the relationship between reflective thinking behaviors and ethical behaviors of nursing students at Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Yala. The sample group was selected using simple random sampling from nursing students who have undergone practical training in the wards during the academic year 2020, totaling 148 individuals. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including Pearson's correlation analysis.

The study results revealed that the sample group exhibited high levels of reflective thinking behaviors and ethical behaviors (Mean = 3.12, SD = 0.41 and Mean = 4.25, SD = 0.35, respectively). The highest-rated aspect of ethical behavior was "Providing wholehearted care" (Mean = 4.37, SD = 0.47), followed by "Demonstrating friendliness towards patients and the general public" (Mean = 4.35, SD = 0.51). There was a strong positive correlation (r = 0.56) between reflective thinking behaviors and ethical behaviors.

These research findings indicate that the development of reflective thinking behaviors has a positive influence on ethical behaviors among nursing students. This aligns with the identity of Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Yala, where promoting reflective thinking is a teaching strategy to enhance the moral and ethical qualities of students. As a result, graduates are expected to possess quality and ethical nursing skills that lead to higher levels of patient satisfaction.
