Abstract

Background

Learning strategies play a crucial role in developing students' self-directed learning abilities, promoting independence, and enhancing their ability to apply knowledge in practical settings. These strategies are particularly important in healthcare education, where knowledge application is key to academic and professional success.

Aim

This study aimed to explore the learning strategies used by nursing students and their correlation with academic performance and study habits.

Methods

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 456 nursing students in Vietnam. A total sampling method was employed, achieving an 82.6% participation rate. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, which included general characteristics, academic performance, study habits, and learning strategies. Spearman correlation was applied to identify relationships, with significance set at p < 0.05.

Results

The main learning strategies used by nursing students were self-monitoring (68%) and deep learning strategies (67.8%). Positive correlations were found between deep learning, monitoring, and organizational strategies with academic performance and study habits.

Conclusion

Promoting effective learning strategies, especially deep learning and self-monitoring, can improve academic outcomes for nursing students.

护生学习策略与学习习惯、学业成绩的关系

学习策略在培养学生自主学习能力、促进学生学习的独立性以及提高学生在实际环境中应用知识的能力方面起着至关重要的作用。这些策略在医疗保健教育中尤其重要，因为知识应用是学术和专业成功的关键。目的探讨护生的学习策略及其与学业成绩和学习习惯的关系。方法对456名越南护生进行横断面描述性研究。采用全抽样方法，参与率为82.6%。数据采用结构化问卷收集，包括一般特征、学习成绩、学习习惯和学习策略。采用Spearman相关来确定关系，显著性设置为p <； 0.05。结果护生使用的主要学习策略为自我监控（68%）和深度学习（67.8%）。深度学习、监督和组织策略与学习成绩和学习习惯呈正相关。结论促进有效的学习策略，特别是深度学习和自我监控，可以提高护生的学业成绩。
