Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the nursing undergraduate program of fourth grade nursing students and to determine their opinions on education. Material and Method:The sample of the descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of 131 fourth grade nursing students who agreed to participate in the study in the 2018-2019 academic year. The data of the research were collected with The Introductory Information Form and the Bachelor's Degree Nursing Program Assessment Scale. The total score of Bachelor's degree nursing program assessment scale is 100, and the low score indicates that the program's effectiveness is negative and the high score is the program's effectiveness. Frequency, mean, percentage values, correlation analysis and Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the data.Results: It was found that 53,4% of the students thought to work as a clinician after graduation and 87% thought that there was a difference between theoretical education and clinical practices in the nursing education. The most common reason leading to difference is respectively; It was determined that the number of students was high (74.8%), insufficient application areas (63.4%), and the lack of teaching staff (47.3%). In order to overcome this difference of students; It has been determined that it makes suggestions such as strengthening the cooperation between clinical nurses and teaching staff (61.1%), establishment of simulation laboratories in schools (58,8%) and ensuring that the teaching staff deficit is in clinics (55%). The mean score of the students to evaluate the undergraduate program in nursing was 61.1±19.8. Conclusion:It was determined that the majority of students stated that there was a difference between theoretical education and clinical practices in nursing and they evaluated the undergraduate program in nursing as close to positive.

Determining the Achievement Levels of Current and Newly Graduated Nursing Students Through Undergraduate Curriculum Outcomes

“…Our study determined students' achievement of program outcomes to be good; their high BNPAS score (76.61±22.11) corresponds to this finding. A study by Ovayolu et al (2021) in which nursing students evaluated their nursing undergraduate programs found the average BNPAS score of the students to be 61.1±19.8 (20) . A study by İnangil et al (2017) that included students from a private university's nursing department determined that the students' expectations of successfully achieving the program outcomes were low; it has been stated that such low expectations are due to the fact that nursing programs contain numerous qualification items that are difficult to fulfil, and that the content is not adequately introduced and explained to the students (21) .…”
