Students who leave pre-registration nurse education having failed to complete remain a concern for higher education institutions. This study identifed factors influencing completion using a retrospective cohort analysis to map student characteristics at entry against Year 3 completion data. The study was set in a nursing faculty in a higher education institution in northern England. Data were collected between 2009 and 2014 with five cohorts of students participating (n = 807). Multinomial logistic regression was used to model the dependent variable Progression Outcome with categories of; completion and non-completion (academic and non-academic reasons). Predictors included cohort, programme, branch, gender, age on entry, ethnic group, disability status, domicile, change of home postcode, change of term-time postcode, entry qualifications, previous experience of caring, and dependents. Age on Entry and Domicile or alternatively Dependents and Domicile emerged as statistically significant (p < 0.05) in the multivariable analysis. Older students were less likely to be lost from the programme, as were students who lived locally at all times and those with dependents. There is currently little reliable, consistent information on nursing student attrition, progression and completion. This study contributes to the evidence base by identifying some of the factors that may contribute to successful programme completion.
未能完成预注册护士教育课程就离开的学生，仍然是高等教育机构关注的问题。本研究采用回顾性队列分析，通过对比入学时的学生特征与三年级结业数据，确定了影响结业的因素。该研究在英格兰北部一所高等教育机构的护理学院开展。研究收集了2009年至2014年期间五个学生队列的数据（n = 807）。使用多项逻辑回归对因变量“进展结果”进行建模，其类别包括：结业和未结业（学术原因和非学术原因）。预测因素包括队列、课程、分校、性别、入学年龄、种族、残疾状况、居住地址、家庭邮编变化、学期住址邮编变化、入学资格、以往护理经验和家属情况。在多变量分析中，入学年龄和居住地址，或者家属情况和居住地址，被证明具有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。年龄较大的学生、一直居住在当地的学生以及有家属的学生，更不容易从课程中流失。目前，关于护理专业学生流失、进展和结业情况的可靠且一致的信息很少。本研究通过确定一些可能有助于课程顺利结业的因素，为证据库做出了贡献。
