Abstract
ObjectiveThis study investigated the impacts of first impressions on nursing education from the perspective of the educator and the student. MethodA qualitative descriptive approach design was adopted. The study included faculty members and nursing students who were in their second, third, or fourth years. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were performed for data collection. FindingsNineteen individual interviews were conducted with fifteen nursing students and four faculty members, and three focus groups were performed with nursing students. The data analysis revealed the following themes: (1) the effects of first impression, both positive and negative; (2) the consequences of these impressions, including their effects on student grades and stereotyping; and (3) exaggerators to first impression, wherein the same instructor teaches different classes. ConclusionThere is a need to raise the faculty's awareness about the influence of stereotyping and the impressions that they develop about their students and how it affects them.
