Anatomy Education: A Study On The Perspectives Of First Year Nursing Students Towards The Course

Abstract

In this study, we aimed to obtain information about the difficulties and experiences of first-year nursing students in anatomy education. Anatomy education is a crucial component of nursing training, and understanding the perspectives of first-year nursing students is essential for enhancing the learning experience. Our study of anatomy education contributes to the ongoing debate. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities for improving the anatomy learning experience of first-year nursing students. Participants have 31,7% very high interest and 32,9% high interest in the anatomy course. Students with low interest in anatomy courses constitute 11% of the participants. The rate of those who think that the anatomy course is difficult is 61%. The rate of those who did not find the anatomy course difficult was determined as 12.2%. We believe that this study, which includes the opinions of nursing students about anatomy education, will provide feedback about the course, provide different perspectives to the educational staff and contribute to the more efficient teaching of the anatomy course.
