Introduction: Study skills of Students affect the entire educational process and ultimately will affect their careers. This study aimed to investigate the Study Skills and related factors in students of nursing and midwifery college of Dezful University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on the census (174 people) of nursing and midwifery college of Dezful University of Medical Sciences. Data collection tools included a standard questionnaire of study skills (PSSHI) and a demographic questionnaire based on self-reporting. SPSS-18 software for data analysis and independent t test, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA were used.
Results: In this study, 71 individuals were male (40.81%) and 103 were female (59.2%) and of those, 97 were nursing, 15 were operating rooms, and 21 were medical emergency patients. The total score average of students’ study skills was 10 ± 46.2. There were significant relationships in total score of study habits and the school year (P < 0.001), location (P = 0.04), and hours of study per day (P = 0.01). Furthermore, there were significant relationships in ability to read with educational level (P < 0.001), location (P < 0.001), years of education (P < 0.001), and average (P < 0.001). There was no significant relationship between learning motivation and gender (P = 0.93), but there was a significant relationship between motivation and year of study (P = 0.01).
Conclusions: It seems that students do not gain enough study skills and are not familiar with the features and conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance the students' study skill workshops for college freshmen to be included in their curriculum. Following that, upon entering university, they become familiar with these skills which can be effective in academic achievement and enhance academic motivation.
