Student Nurses Academic Performance Multidimensional Constructs

The success of any educational institution is measured by its academic performance or how well students meet the standards set out. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the academic performance of second and third year student nurses in Saudi Arabia. Academic success is important because it is strongly linked to the positive outcomes we value… Academic success is important because working people will need higher levels of education to tackle the technologically demanding occupations of the future. This study may benefit the students by allowing them to understand better the factors that can affect their academic performance. A quantitative descriptive design was utilized. Self reporting course survey questionnaire was the main method used for data gathering. Average weighted mean and proportions were used to determine the level of impact of the different factors affecting student nurses' academic performance. The items on “What happened during the course” found to be of high impact. Meanwhile few items in the same category fell in the low range and rated related to their grading as moderate. In the aspect of course evaluation, the first item on “what I learnt in this course is important and will be useful to me” was determined to have the greatest impact among the course related items. Among the five domains, the item related to their overall evaluation “Satisfied with the quality of the course” fall behind the teacher related factors. Based from the findings, it was concluded that several factors pose high impact on the academic performance of student nurses, with teacher related factors topping the list.
