Aim:
This qualitative descriptive study explored the contributors to second-degree accelerated program (SDAP) student success during COVID-19 as described by SDAP administrators, directors, and faculty.
Background:
SDAPs are fast, rigorous, and stressful. Understanding how SDAP students remain successful, despite their challenges and stressors, during the disorder of a global pandemic could provide insight for administrators, directors, and faculty on how to facilitate success in SDAP students in the future.
Method:
A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study. Personal interviews and a demographic survey were used for data collection.
Results:
Fourteen SDAP administrators, directors, and faculty participated. Six themes emerged: engagement, clinical experiences, student characteristics, relationships, flexibility, and faculty concerns.
Conclusion:
Participants shared several recommendations to guide other SDAP administrators, directors, and faculty in developing robust SDAPs and successful students.
