Abstract
Aims of the study was To define predictor factors of academic success of student in an Italian Nursing School. The recent introduction of the first level nursing education at university in Italy primed many changes processes and required to think new methods and contents. The study was descriptive and retrospective. The setting is an Italian School of Nursing. It was considered a sample constituted by 2 three years. Academic success was defined such as the capability of the student to finish formative pathway in three years with a final mark >90/110. An half of sample (53.7%, 66/123) finished the studies in three years. Variables that more influenced academic success were age, nationality, admission mark, evaluations obtained in professionals and tutorship formative activity. To know factors influenced academic success provides some indications that should be useful to define "at risk" students for which to plan formative pathways and specific supports.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
