| Background: A critical thinking disposition is one of the most important talents that can be attained by evaluating one's own thinking abilities, changing one's behavior, and drawing conclusions from observations, knowledge, and students' practice of all prior knowledge on a particular subject. Aim: To evaluate the critical thinking disposition of Damietta University nursing students. Methods: A convenience sample of 190 nursing students from the second semester of the academic year 2022–2023 at Damietta University's Faculty of Nursing was selected using a descriptive cross-sectional design and a critical thinking disposition questionnaire. Results: The majority of nursing students that took part (89.5%) strongly disagreed with the aspects of critical thinking disposition. Only nursing students' age showed a very statistically significant correlation with their critical thinking disposition. Conclusions: According to the study's findings, the majority of Damietta University nursing students lacked a sufficient degree of critical thinking disposition. Recommendation: Academic staff and management should foster a positive learning environment by employing appropriate and innovative teaching strategies, that promotes active learning and the development of critical thinking dispositions. | ||||
