ÖZET
 Amaç: Günümüzde çocukları rahatsız eden karmaşık sağlık koşulları, hemşire adına daha fazla beceri ve anlayış gerektirir. Bu anlayış ve becerilerden biri de eleştirel düşünmedir. Bu çalışma, pediatri hemşirelerinin eleştirel düşünme beceri düzeyleri ve etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan bu çalışmaya, bir üniversite ve bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü 133 pediatri hemşiresi alınmıştır. Veriler 'Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu' ve 'California Eleştirel Düşünme Eğilimleri Ölçeği' kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler 'Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)' 23.0 paket programı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlarda %95 güven aralığı ve anlamlılık seviyesi olarak p<0,05 kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan pediatri hemşireleri 11,70±6,94 yıldır çalışmakta olup, %66,9'unun genel pediatride çalıştığı, %93,2'sinin kurum içi, %36,8'inin kurum dışı bilimsel etkinliğe katıldığı, %24,1'inin bilimsel yayın okuduğu, %61,7'sinin sosyal etkinliklere katıldığı saptandı. Pediatri hemşirelerinin toplam eleştirel düşünme eğilim puan ortalaması 220,40±23,85 olarak bulunmuştur. Pediatri hemşirelerinin çalıştığı kurum, kurum dışı bilimsel etkinliğe katılma, bilimsel yayın okuma ve sosyal etkinliğe katılma ile eleştirel düşünme puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Pediatri hemşirelerinin eleştirel düşünme eğilim puanlarının düşük düzeyde olduğu, ancak kurum dışı bilimsel etkinliklere katılma, bilimsel yayın okuma ve sosyal etkinliklere katılmanın eleştirel düşünme eğilimini olumlu yönde etkilediği saptanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Eleştirel düşünme eğilimi; hemşirelik; pediatri hemşiresi
ABSTRACT
 Objective: The complex health conditions that disturb children today require more skills and understanding on behalf of the nurse. One of these skills and understanding is critical thinking. The aim of this study was to determine the critical thinking skill levels of pediatric nurses and the factors affecting them. Material and Methods: This descriptive study included 133 pediatric nurses working in a university and a state hospital and volunteering to participate in the study. The data were collected using the 'Introductory Information Form' and 'California Critical Thinking Trends Scale'. Data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 23.0 package program. 95% confidence interval and significance level were used as p<0.05. Resuls: The pediatric nurses participating in the study have been working for 11.70±6.94 years. It was found that 66.9% of the nurses worked in the general pediatrics clinic, 93.2% participated in the internal and 36.8% outside the institution, 24.1% read scientific publications and 61.7% participated in the social activities. The mean total critical thinking trend score of the pediatric nurses participating in the study was 220.40±23.85. A statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of critical thinking and participation in pediatric nursing institutions, participating in scientific activities, reading scientific publications and participating in social activities (p<0.05). Conclusion: The critical thinking disposition scores of the pediatric nurses were found low. Pediatric nurses' critical thinking disposition scores were low. However, participation in external scientific activities, reading scientific publications and participating in social activities were found to have a positive effect on the critical thinking disposition.
