Veteran nursing students often have difficulty transitioning to campus life. Barriers include issues with admissions, financial support, as well as classroom environments. These barriers often push veterans and their unique needs to the periphery.
The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to examine mean differences in perceived marginality between veteran and nonveteran nursing students enrolled in baccalaureate programs using the Englund Marginality Index.
Results indicate that veteran nursing students report higher perceived marginality (M = 40.18, SD = 10.68) than nonveteran nursing students (M = 38.82, SD = 9.51); t (1154) =2.09, p = 0.036.
Veteran nursing students in this study demonstrate higher levels of perceived marginalization. Strategies aimed at decreasing attrition and marginalization should be implemented, thus improving the diversity of the nursing workforce.
有经验的护理专业学生在适应校园生活方面往往存在困难。障碍包括入学、经济支持以及课堂环境等问题。这些障碍往往将退伍军人及其特殊需求边缘化。
本描述性横断面研究旨在使用 Englund 边缘化指数,比较攻读学士学位的退伍军人和非退伍军人护理专业学生对边缘化的感知差异。
结果表明,退伍军人护理专业学生报告的边缘化感知程度更高(M=40.18,SD=10.68),而非退伍军人护理专业学生的感知程度较低(M=38.82,SD=9.51);t(1154)=2.09,p=0.036。
本研究中的退伍军人护理专业学生表现出更高水平的边缘化感知。应实施旨在减少退伍军人退学和边缘化的策略,从而提高护理人员队伍的多样性。
