摘要：Purpose:The objective of this study was to evaluate nursing students’ perceptions of their educational environment in a private college.Perceptions were compared between genders and 2 bachelor’s programs.Methods:A total of 219 stu_x0002_dents participated in this study,drawn from the Generic Bachelor of Science in Nursing (GBSN) and the Post-Registered Nurse Bachelor of Science in Nursing (PRBSN) programs of the Shifa College of Nursing,Islamabad,Pakistan.The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure was utilized for data collection.Descriptive statistics were used to calculate total scores,as well as means and standard deviations,and the t-test was applied for comparisons according to program and gender.Results:The overall total mean score (119 of 200) is suggestive of more positive than negative perceptions of the educational environment.The mean score of 13 of 28 on the social self-perception subscale suggests that the social envi?ronment was felt to be 'not a nice place.’ The t-test revealed more positive perceptions among students enrolled in the PRBSN program (P< 0.0001) than among those enrolled in the GBSN program and more positive perceptions among fe?male students than among male students (P< 0.0001).Conclusion:Commonalities and differences were found in the perceptions of the nursing students.Both positive and negative perceptions were reported;the overall sense of a posi?tive environment was present,but the social component requires immediate attention,along with other unsatisfactory components.Establishing a supportive environment conducive to competence-based learning would play an important role in bringing desirable changes to the educational environment.
