Abstract

Background: In the credit-based training program, self-study is a compulsory activity that is related to students’ learning results. Objective: To describe the status of students' self-study activities and determine the relationship between learning results and students' self-study activities. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 179 nursing students of Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. A self-completed questionnaire was used including 25 questions surveying skills, methods, forms, time, and place of self-study. Results: The best-performed skill was “Complete assignments” (95.6%), and the most frequently applied self-study method was “Study according to the focus of the lesson” (76%). The most frequently applied form of self-study was "Study independently", 54.75% of students regularly studied 2-4 hours/day. There were significant relationships between the results of the last semester with study planning skills (p < 0.001), referencing and researching materials (p < 0.001); summarizing and revising the lessons (p = 0.007), learning according to the focus of the lessons (p = 0.013). Conclusions: “Complete assignments” was recorded as the best-performed skill, the most frequently applied self-study method was “Study according to the focus of the lesson”, and the most frequently applied form of self-study was "Study independently". Study planning, referencing and researching materials, summarizing and revising lessons, and learning according to the focus of the lessons were factors related to student learning outcomes.
