Area Of Science
- Nursing Education
- Disability Studies
- Qualitative Research
Background
- Limited research exists on the clinical learning experiences of prelicensure nursing students with learning disabilities.
- Understanding these experiences is vital for enhancing student success in nursing programs.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the lived experiences of prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students with learning disabilities in the clinical learning environment.
Main Methods
- Descriptive phenomenology philosophical framework.
- Colaizzi's analytical framework for data analysis.
- In-depth interviews with 11 nursing students with learning disabilities.
Main Results
- Three emergent themes identified: Challenges, Student Recommendations, and Supportive Practices.
- Students reported facing discrimination within the clinical environment.
- Identified need for specific supportive practices and accommodations.
Conclusions
- The lived experiences of nursing students with learning disabilities in clinical settings are complex.
- Further research is needed to combat stigmatization and develop effective clinical accommodation guidelines.
- Establishing clear guidelines is essential for the successful outcomes of nursing students with learning disabilities.

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...
