The Relationship

Background. The lack of attention of nursing professors to students’ learning styles can cause academic failure. The results of studies on the relationship between students’ learning style and academic achievement are contradictory. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the relationship between VARK learning styles and academic performance among virtual nursing students. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, 237 virtual nursing students were enrolled by the convenience sampling method. The VARK learning styles questionnaire was used for data collection. The basis for determining academic performance was the grade point average(s) (GPA) of the previous semester(s). Students were divided into two groups based on their GPA, including strong (GPA ≥15) and weak (GPA ≤14.99) groups. Results. In both strong and weak groups, most of the subjects were unimodal (with a frequency of 92.9% and 78.5%, respectively), and the rest were multimodal. The most common learning styles in strong and weak students were kinesthetic (57.1%) and auditory (37.2%), respectively. The results of chi-square test did not show statistically significant differences between learning styles and academic performance of strong and weak students. Conclusion. There was no significant relationship between the dominant learning styles and academic performance of strong and weak students. However, nursing professors need to adapt their teaching methods to the students’ learning styles. More studies are recommended to shed more light on this area of research.

The Relationship

A correlational study to find out the relationship between the independent variables (psychological resources and gaudiebility) and the dependent variables (academic performance, stress, and risk behaviors) is developed and a Structural Equation Model (SEM) is proposed. Un estudio correlacional para encontrar la relación entre las variables independientes (recursos psicológicos y gaudibilidad) y las variables dependientes (desempeño académico, estrés y comportamientos de riesgo) se desarrolla y un Modelode Ecuaciones Estructurales (MEE) se propone.

(2) To determine the relationship between the family pressure on academic performance of nursing students. (3) To compare gender wise relation between peer pressure and family pressure on academic performance. Methodology of this study was qualitative approach and Research Design is Descriptive research design. The study was conducted in Narayan Nursing college and sample were B.Sc Nursing 3rd and G.N.M 3rd year studying at Narayan Nursing College, Jamuhar, Sasaram. Random sampling techniques was used. Number of sample for the study is 100 Undergraduate Nursing students who have attended university exam in 2019. Findings of the study is (1) There is positive correlation between peer pressure and family pressure on academic performance. (2) There is a negative correlation between peer pressure and family pressure of male students. (3) There is a positive correlation between peer pressure and family pressure of female student.

Abstract Background: One of the essential activities in improving the quality and effectiveness of teaching is to pay attention to the quality of teaching and engagement of students in their academic process. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between teaching quality and academic engagement among Iranian nursing students. Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational study. The present study was carried out on 124 anesthesia and operating room nursing students who were selected using simple random sampling in the year 2017. The research tools included standard demographic, course experience, and academic engagement questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive tests, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation in SPSS ver. 24. Results: The results of Pearson correlation analysis on the relationship between the subscales of teaching quality, including good teaching, clear goals, appropriate assessment, appropriate workload, independence, and generic skills with academic engagement showed a statistically significant relationship between all remaining subscales, except for the proper workload sub-scale (P=0.234). Conclusion: The results of this study showed a significant positive correlation between the course experience and academic engagement. Therefore, steps can be taken to improve the quality of the educational system using active and student-centered teaching methods.

Insight Into

A descriptive correlational study was undertaken to provide insight into the relationship between caring ability (innate caring) and competency with caring behaviors (professional caring) of student nurses. Currently, little research addresses these aspects of caring simultaneously. The study found significant correlations between caring ability and caring competency for first and fourth semester students, but no significant difference in caring ability between first semester and fourth semester students. The results suggest that nursing education significantly impacts the development of professional caring behaviors, but has little effect on innate caring ability. Higher caring ability scores were associated with increased caring competency

Background & Objective: An admission criterion is one of the key indicators of academic success. The purpose of admission process is to select best candidates for the particular program who will complete the program successfully. Thus rigorous admission criteria can predict academic performance, decrease failure rate and successful completion of degree. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between various variables in the existing admission criteria and academic performance. Methods: A cross sectional study design was chosen. Data (2009-2017) was gathered from the records of Institute of Nursing Science, Khyber Medical University. Variables in the admission criteria included age, gender, previous academic performance, entry test score and experience. The dependent variable was academic performance measured in CGPA. The data was analyzed using correlation and regression analysis through SPSS and STATA. Results: The results reported a significant relationship between admission criteria and the academic performance of nursing students. Various variables in the admission criteria i.e. SSC marks (r=0.32, p=>0.001), previous academic score at diploma level (r=0.48, p=>0.001) and entry test scores (r=0.26, p=>0.001) have significant relationship between academic performance. However, previous academic scores at diploma level were better predictors of the academic performance. Conclusion: The study concludes to use integrated admission criteria for the selection of students and bring changes in the traditional admission process. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.3.217 How to cite this:Yousafzai II, Jamil B.
