Background:
Feedback-based learning (FBL) focuses on guiding the learning process according to educational objectives and the student's needs. This study aimed to investigate surgical nursing students' perceptions and explore their experiences of FBL.
Method:
The present study used a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design that was conducted in the quantitative and qualitative phases. Surgical nursing students participated in the quantitative phase (n = 105). In the first phase, students completed two questionnaires about FBL and clinical feedback. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were used to collect qualitative data in the second phase. Graneheim and Lundman's inductive approaches were used to analyse the qualitative data.
Results:
The mean (SD) score for students' perception of FBL was 3.99 ± 0.70. The qualitative results were explored in two themes, "motivational support for improvement" and "unpleasant learning".
Conclusion:
In this study, the positive and negative aspects of FBL were explained. FBL is perceived as a motivational support mechanism to improve students' capabilities during their academic courses and also prepare them for future careers. Conversely, FBL may experience unpleasant learning due to negative feedback and negative emotions.
