Abstract:
Objective? To explore the status quo and influencing factors of self-directed learning readiness in nursing undergraduates. Methods? Totally 500 full-time nursing undergraduates from Tianjin were selected using cluster sampling from March to July 2017 and investigated with the general information questionnaire, Self-directed Learning Readiness Scale for Nursing Education (SDLRS), Learning Attitude Questionnaire for Senior Nursing Students and Learning Self-efficacy Questionnaire. SPSS 21.0 was used to analyze the score and Pearson was used to analyze the correlation between self-directed learning readiness, learning attitude and learning self-efficacy. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Totally 500 questionnaires were distributed, and 429 valid questionnaires were collected. Results? The SDLRS score of the 429 nursing undergraduates totaled (149.99±15.73); the learning attitude score totaled (73.99±11.92); and the learning self-efficacy score totaled (76.26±8.17). Correlation analysis revealed that nursing undergraduates' self-directed learning readiness was positively correlated (P<0.01) with their learning attitude (r=0.466) and learning self-efficacy (r=0.657). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that learning self-efficacy, learning attitude, love for nursing program and difficulty in after-class learning were the influencing factors for self-directed learning readiness in nursing undergraduates, which amounted to 48.2% of the accumulated variance of self-directed learning readiness. Conclusions? The self-directed learning readiness of nursing undergraduates remains at a medium level. Their self-directed learning readiness may be improved by further correcting their attitude towards learning, improving self-efficacy and using a proper teaching model.
