This randomized, controlled trial investigates the impact of a Project Planning Course on third-year undergraduate nursing students' critical thinking motivation, lifelong learning skills, and individual innovativeness. Participants were randomized into two groups: an intervention group receiving the Project Planning Course and a control group with no intervention. The Project Planning Course consisted of 14 weeks of theoretical and practical training, aiming to develop students' skills in research project management and patent/utility model application. Data were collected using the Critical Thinking Motivation Scale (CTMS), the Lifelong Learning Scale (LLS), and the Individual Innovativeness Scale (IIS). Statistical analysis was conducted using non-parametric tests. The study complies with ethical standards, including approval from the relevant ethics committee, and is prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov.
