Student nurses need more support to develop essential self-directed study skills for effective practice. Current programs are insufficient, and the language of study materials significantly impacts learning.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Nurse educators are responsible for developing student nurses' self-directed study skills.
  • Secondary schooling often inadequately prepares students for tertiary education demands.
  • Self-directed study necessitates information retrieval, synthesis, and practical application skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if student nurses require guidance in specific study skills.
  • To evaluate the adequacy of existing guidance and support programs.
  • To investigate the impact of study material language on learning.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive survey design was employed.
  • Data were collected using questionnaires from nurse educators and student nurses.
  • The study was conducted in the Western Cape during 1997.

Main Results:

  • Student nurses indicated a need for enhanced guidance in fundamental study skills.
  • Existing student support initiatives did not fully meet identified needs.
  • The language medium of study materials profoundly influenced student learning and study processes.

Conclusions:

  • There is a clear need for improved study skills development programs for student nurses.
  • Student support services require enhancement to address identified learning gaps.
  • Addressing language barriers in study materials is crucial for effective nursing education.
