Abstract

Background: understanding the factors affecting academic performance is important to support and promote the academic success of students. While there have been several studies on nursing students’ academic performance, the role of self-directed learning readiness, self-esteem, and grit among Filipino nursing students have not been well documented.Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship of self-directed learning readiness, self-esteem, and grit to the perceived academic performance of nursing students.Methods: This correlational research was conducted among undergraduate sophomore nursing students in a higher education institution in the Philippines using adopted research instruments. Spearman’s rho tested the correlation between variables.Results: The results indicated that self-directed learning readiness (rs=.360, p=.000), self-esteem (rs=.301, p=.000), and grit (rs=.186, p=.023) were significantly related to the academic performance of sophomore nursing students.Conclusion: psychological resources such as self-directed learning readiness, self-esteem, and grit contribute to students’ academic performance. Strategies that encourage self-directed learning, increase self-esteem, and cultivate grit are needed to support student's academic success in nursing school.

Abstract

Background: The global COVID-19 outbreak has affected all sectors of society. Nursing students were not exempted. This study examined COVID-19 anxiety syndrome among Filipino nursing students and whether significant differences existed according to gender. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C-19ASS) as the primary tool for data collection. Significant gender differences were tested using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Results showed that the composite score in the C-19ASS was 3.92 (SD=.69) indicating a moderate to a high level of anxiety syndrome features associated with COVID-19 among nursing students. The mean scores in the preservation and avoidance factors were 3.94 (SD=.76) and 3.88 (SD=.91), respectively. Female nursing students had a significantly higher (p=.004) COVID-19 anxiety syndrome compared to male nursing students. Conclusion: The global outbreak of COVID-19 brought about extraordinary anxiety syndrome and stressful situations among nursing students. Nursing students, particularly female students, may benefit from additional support and guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
