(1) Purpose: This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of insecure adult attachment on the relationship between smartphone addiction and self-directed learning in university students. (2) Methods: In total, 235 university students participated in this study. Data analysis was carried out through a three-stage verification procedure: Sobel test using technical statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. (3) Results: Smartphone addiction was positively correlated with insecure adult attachment, attachment anxiety, and self-directed learning, whereas self-directed learning had a significant negative correlation with insecure adult attachment and attachment anxiety. Insecure adult attachment had a mediating effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and self-directed learning. (4) Conclusion: Higher levels of smartphone addiction indicated higher levels of insecure adult attachment and reduced self-directed learning ability. Therefore, while the prevention of smartphone addiction is critical for improving self-directed learning skills, programs should be developed to foster the formation of secure adult attachment among university students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-directed learning strategies on e-learning pre-learning focusing on the flow experience.Methods: A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure learning outcome achievement, pre-learning satisfaction, learning persistence, flow experience, and self-directed learning strategies. Data were collected from September 3~7, 2018. Participants were 150 nursing students studying at a university in D city. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program.Results: The flow experience had a partial mediating effect between self-directed learning strategies and pre-learning satisfaction (β=.73, <i>p</i><.001). Also the flow experience had a partial mediating effect between self-directed learning strategies and learning outcome achievement (β=.17, <i>p</i>=.020) and learning persistence (β=.24, <i>p</i>=.001).Conclusion: Results suggest that flow experience has a positive effect as a mediating effect in the relationship between self-directed learning strategy and pre-learning satisfaction, learning outcome achievement, and learning persistence. Therefore, it is necessary to identify education methods that include flow experience with self-directed learning strategies.

Abstract 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, problem-solving 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 self-designed 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.
