The objective of this study was to evaluate nursing students' perceptions of their educational environment in a private college. Perceptions were compared between genders and 2 bachelor's programs.
A total of 219 students participated in this study, drawn from the Generic Bachelor of Science in Nursing (GBSN) and the Post-Registered Nurse Bachelor of Science in Nursing (PRBSN) programs of the Shifa College of Nursing, Islamabad, Pakistan. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure was utilized for data collection. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate total scores, as well as means and standard deviations, and the t-test was applied for comparisons according to program and gender.
The overall total mean score (119 of 200) is suggestive of more positive than negative perceptions of the educational environment. The mean score of 13 of 28 on the social self-perception subscale suggests that the social environment was felt to be 'not a nice place.' The t-test revealed more positive perceptions among students enrolled in the PRBSN program (P<0.0001) than among those enrolled in the GBSN program and more positive perceptions among female students than among male students (P<0.0001).
Commonalities and differences were found in the perceptions of the nursing students. Both positive and negative perceptions were reported; the overall sense of a positive environment was present, but the social component requires immediate attention, along with other unsatisfactory components. Establishing a supportive environment conducive to competence-based learning would play an important role in bringing desirable changes to the educational environment.
本研究的目的是评估私立学院护理专业学生对其教育环境的看法。比较了不同性别和两个本科项目学生的看法。
共有219名学生参与了本研究，他们来自巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡希法护理学院的普通护理理学学士（GBSN）项目和注册护士后护理理学学士（PRBSN）项目。采用邓迪教育环境就绪度测量法收集数据。描述性统计用于计算总分、均值和标准差，并应用t检验按项目和性别进行比较。
总体总平均分（满分200分中的119分）表明学生对教育环境的看法积极多于消极。社会自我认知子量表的平均分为28分中的13分，这表明学生认为社会环境“不是一个好地方”。t检验显示，PRBSN项目的学生比GBSN项目的学生看法更积极（P<0.0001），女生比男生看法更积极（P<0.0001）。
护理专业学生的看法存在共性和差异。既有积极的看法，也有消极的看法；整体环境呈积极态势，但社会因素以及其他不尽人意的因素需要立即得到关注。建立一个有利于基于能力学习的支持性环境，将对改善教育环境起到重要作用。
