This study found that a Learning Assistance Program (LAP) improved nursing students' study skills and attitudes. However, lower-achieving students who participated more in LAP showed lower GPAs.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Student success in baccalaureate nursing programs is crucial.
  • Identifying effective support systems for nursing students is essential.
  • Learning Assistance Programs (LAP) are designed to enhance student academic performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a Learning Assistance Program (LAP) for second-year baccalaureate nursing students.
  • To examine the relationship between LAP participation and academic outcomes.
  • To assess the impact of LAP on students' study attitudes and skills.

Main Methods:

  • A process-outcome research design was employed.
  • Seventy-eight students participated in the LAP, while 98 did not.
  • Cognitive input variables (SAT/ACT scores, freshman GPA) and outcome variables (sophomore GPA) were analyzed.

  • Affective variables were measured using the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey (SAMS) and Survey of Reading and Study Efficiency (SR/SE).
  • Stepwise multiple regressions were used to analyze the data.

    • Main Results:

    • Participation in the LAP positively influenced students' study attitudes and skills scores.
    • A significant negative correlation was observed between the extent of LAP participation among lower-achieving students and their end-of-sophomore-year GPA.
    • The observed negative correlation may be attributed to the program's focus on students with lower initial performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The Learning Assistance Program demonstrated a positive impact on nursing students' study habits and attitudes.
    • While beneficial for skills and attitudes, the LAP's effect on the GPA of lower-achieving students warrants further investigation.
    • The findings suggest a need to refine support strategies for students struggling academically within nursing programs.
