Nursing students’ perceived level of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning using unfolding case studies

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic interrupted the clinical placements of nursing students across the globe. This required teaching and learning in nursing to adapt to continue, despite the interruption. The study aims to describe the students' perceived level of satisfaction, and their level of self-confidence in learning using the unfolding case studies. An online survey of nursing students enrolled in a higher educational institution in Angeles City, Philippines was conducted. A total of 166 nursing students completed the online survey. The majority of them were female (N=136; 81.93%). Respondents reported high levels of satisfaction (M=22.02; SD=0.29 out of a possible 25), and self-confidence (M=34.60; SD=0.48 out of a possible 40). The findings bolster the utility of the unfolding case studies in improving students’ satisfaction and self-confidence in learning.
