Student nurses find clinical placements most valuable in the common foundation programme (CFP), despite organizational issues. Improvements in teaching and tutor contact are needed to reduce high attrition rates in nursing education.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education Systems
  • Healthcare Professional Training

Background:

  • The nursing education system underwent significant restructuring, introducing a common foundation programme (CFP).
  • This transition was costly and met with initial resistance from nursing professionals and students.
  • Persistent issues include major flaws within the CFP and unacceptably high student attrition rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess student satisfaction with the common foundation programme (CFP).
  • To identify specific areas of strength and weakness within the nursing curriculum.
  • To provide data for improving the structure and delivery of pre-registration nurse education.

Main Methods:

  • A detailed survey was conducted among students undergoing the common foundation programme (CFP).

  • Student satisfaction levels were measured across various course components and organizational aspects.
  • Qualitative feedback was gathered on teaching modules and tutor-student interactions.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinical placements emerged as the most popular component of the CFP.
    • Poor organization was identified as the most significant negative aspect of the programme.
    • Core modules like bioscience and nursing interventions received higher ratings than supporting modules (e.g., social policy, research).
    • The establishment of contact between personal tutors and students was perceived as slow.

    Conclusions:

    • While clinical experience is highly valued, organizational deficiencies in the CFP negatively impact student experience.
    • Targeted improvements in curriculum design, particularly in organizational aspects and tutor support, are crucial.
    • Addressing these identified issues is essential for enhancing student satisfaction and reducing attrition in nursing education programs.
