Students’ Satisfaction of Nursing Education: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

Because students are important elements and the main audience of higher education, their satisfaction with how nursing education can be provided can be considered an indicator of student satisfaction. In this regard, a study has been conducted on the satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students with how-to education. This study is a qualitative study conducted with the participation of ten nursing students (second to the fourth year). Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, and the contractual content analysis method was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study showed that the students were dissatisfied with how provided nursing education. The most important causes of student dissatisfaction are academics/educators and educational environments. According to the findings of the study, to reform and upgrade the educational system, the quality of educational environments and professors must be constantly reviewed and evaluated.
