Abstract

The study assessed socio-economic and environmental factors influencing student nurses’ preparedness for the Qualifying Examination for General Nurses (QEFGN) in school of nursing in Agbor, Delta State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research of 70 third-year student nurses of Basic Nursing program were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data collected using researchers-developed questionnaire were summarized with simple frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. Average mean scores of 4.17 and 1.98 indicated environmental factors influenced student nurses’ preparedness for QEFGN while socio-economic factors did not. There was no significant association between gender and socio-economic cum environmental factors influencing preparedness for QEFGN. While environmental factors influenced preparedness for QEFGN, socio-economic did not. It was recommended that administrators of nursing training institutions should ensure that adequate and lasting lighting is supplied with a solitary environment provided for the students preparing for the exam.

影响护士学生准备护理资格考试的社会经济和环境因素

该研究评估了影响尼日利亚三角洲州阿格博尔护理学校学生护士准备普通护士资格考试（QEFGN）的社会经济和环境因素。采用方便抽样技术，对 70 名基础护理专业三年级的学生护士进行了描述性调查研究。使用研究人员开发的调查问卷收集的数据以简单的频率、百分比、平均值和标准差进行汇总。平均值分别为 4.17 和 1.98，表明环境因素影响了学生护士对 QEFGN 的准备程度，而社会经济因素则没有影响。性别与影响QEFGN准备程度的社会经济和环境因素之间没有明显关联。环境因素会影响对 QEFGN 的准备程度，而社会经济因素则不会。建议护理培训机构的管理者应确保为准备考试的学生提供充足、持久的照明和单独的环境。
