Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Basic Sciences in Healthcare

Background:

Basic sciences are crucial for competent nursing practice in modern healthcare.
Existing literature lacks exploration of specific difficulties nursing students face in basic science courses.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify challenges nursing students encounter in basic science courses.
To gather nursing students' perspectives on solutions to these difficulties.

Main Methods:

A descriptive, cross-sectional study involving 164 nursing students.
Data collected via self-administered, semi-structured questionnaires.
Descriptive and inferential statistics used for analysis in SPSS.

Main Results:

Over 93% of students perceived basic science as difficult.
Key difficulties included vast content, insufficient time, and subject integration.
Students suggested nursing-specific content, frequent tests, and clinical focus.

Conclusions:

Basic science courses present significant challenges for nursing students.
Curriculum adjustments, administrative support, and educator interventions are needed.
Addressing these difficulties can enhance nursing student competency.
