Tyrimo tikslas – atskleisti bendrosios praktikos slaugos studentų požiūrį į slaugos studijų kokybę Kauno kolegijos Medicinos fakultete. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Išanalizuoti slaugos studijų kokybę lemiančius veiksnius. 2.

Tyrimo objektas – slaugos studijų kokybė studentų požiūriu. Tyrimo metodai – mokslinės literatūros analizė, kiekybinė ir kokybinė apklausos duomenų turinio analizė. Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė, kad dauguma slaugos studijų studentų geriausiai vertino studijų turinio atitikimą profesinėms kompetencijoms, dėstytojų gebėjimą sudominti/ sumotyvuoti studentus bei dėstytojų reiklumą studentų žinioms įgyti. Atsiskleidė ir tobulintini studijų kokybės aspektai: grįžtamojo ryšio studentui suteikimas bei dėstytojų profesionalumo stoka pateikiant mokymosi medžiagą. Daugumos bendrosios praktikos slaugos (BPS) studentų nuomone, esminis teigiamas slaugos studijų dalykas yra slaugos teorijos siejimas su slaugos praktika. Teigiamai studentų požiūriu buvo įvertintas dėstytojo reiklumas žinioms įgyti. Studentai pozityviai įvertino ir naujų mokymo/si metodų taikymą.
