Illness, family needs, and assignment deadlines are key factors affecting nursing student attendance. Addressing these and improving curriculum engagement can enhance student presence in theory classes.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Student Well-being

Background:

  • Attendance is crucial for nursing students' theoretical knowledge acquisition.
  • The Fitness for Practice (FFP) curriculum's theory component is essential for skill development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors influencing attendance and absenteeism in second-year nursing students.
  • To understand the impact of curriculum design and external factors on student presence.

Main Methods:

  • A non-randomized questionnaire with 48 quantitative and qualitative questions was administered.
  • Data collected from 75 adult branch nursing students in the first FFP cohort.
  • Absence was recorded over the initial 91 weeks of the program.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Primary reasons for absence included illness, family commitments, appointments, and assignment deadlines.
  • Student engagement was affected by dislike of certain subjects like ethics and law.
  • Absences increased near assignment due dates, with some students feigning illness.

Conclusions:

  • Further research across different nursing cohorts is recommended for comparative analysis.
  • Curriculum adjustments such as increased self-directed learning and 'family-friendly' scheduling are suggested.
  • Reducing theory hours and providing dedicated private study time before assignments could improve attendance.
