FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENT NURSES OF BSU
Abstract This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the academic performance of fourth year student nurses. The factors affecting a student’s academic performance arise from several reasons. In line with this, this research was conducted to determine the factors that affect the academic performance of the nursing students which may consequently help in the improvement of the students and teachers alike. This study may benefit the students by allowing them to understand better the factors that can affect their academic performance. They may be able to improve their academic performance with the findings that are established by this study. A quantitative-descriptive design was utilized. Self-reporting questionnaire was the main method used for data gathering. Average weighted mean was used to determine the level of impact of the different factors affecting the respondents’ academic performance. The first two (2) items in the personal conditions category are found to be of high impact. Meanwhile, the last three (3) items in the same subset fell in the low range. On the other hand, all indicators included in the category of study habits were considered highly impactful except for the last item which was ranked rather lower. Student nurses have been discovered to have rated home-related factors as low in impact. In school-related aspects, the first six (6) items are of high impact; conversely, the 7th indicator was rated low. Among the teacher-related-factors, only item 1 was established to be of very high impact and the rest posed to be highly impactful. In the subset of personal factors, feeling sleepy in class in class was rated to be of highest impact. The indicator ‘I study only when there is a quiz’ was determined to have the highest impact among study habits. Meanwhile, among the home-related aspects, ‘I live far from school’ was found to be the most impactful. The indicator ‘the time schedule is followed’ was determined to have the greatest effect among the school-related items. Highest of impact among the five domains were the teacher-related factors. Based from the findings, it was concluded that several factors pose a high impact on the academic performance of student nurses, with teacher-related factors topping the list. Among the five (5) domains, study habits and school-related factors fall behind the teacher-related factors. Nonetheless, both categories are still deemed to be highly impactful. Conversely, personal conditions and home-related factors pose little effect on student nurses’ academic performance.
