Abstract

Objectives of the Study: A. General Objectives: The study was conducted with the pretext of identifying the strategies for effective study load management of the nursing students at DLSMHSI. B. Specific: Specifically, this study sought to determine the following: 1. Profile of the DLSMHSI nursing students in terms of gender and year level. 2. Place of study that the DLSMHSI nursing students find conducive to learning. 3. Effective study load management strategies among nursing students. 4. If there is a significant difference in the effective study load management strategies among DLSMHSI nursing students when they are grouped according to their gender and year level.

Methodology: The study makes use of a Descriptive Quantitative Research Design to assess the nursing students’ strategies for effective study load management. The study encompasses 301 students of DLSMHSI College of Nursing. The survey form used a 4-point Likert scale and has a total of thirty-four (34) questions, all adapted from the Middle School Learning Strategies (MSLS) survey and the Acquisition and Use of Study Skills and Learning Strategies (AUSSLS). Data was collected online using Google Forms.

Major Findings: 1. Out of 301 respondents, the majority are female with 194 (64.5%) and Level 1 nursing students with N = 102 (33.9%). 2. The most preferred place of study is ‘Home’ with N = 155 (51.5%). 3. All four approaches—Self-Directed, Environmental Management, Self-evaluation Approach, and Collaborative—were determined to be ‘somewhat effective’ with an overall mean of 3.07 and a standard deviation of 0.366. 4. Both p-value of gender (0.530) and year level (0.178) are higher than the significance value of 0.05, indicating that there is no significant difference between nursing students at DLSMHSI in how they manage their study load effectively when grouped according to year level.

Conclusions: From the findings of the study resulted the following conclusions: 1. Majority of the respondents are female and Level 1 nursing students. 2. Homes are the most conducive place of study. 3. There are four identified primary approaches in managing the study load effectively: Self-Directed, Environmental Management, Self-evaluation, and Collaborative. 4. There are no significant differences in effective study load management strategies when grouped according to gender and year level.
