    Author: Mills S, Krouse AM, Rossi-Schwartz R, Klein JM.
    Journal: J Nurs Educ; 2017 Jun 01; 56(6):337-342. PubMed ID: 28585981.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Curricular revision and engaging students in learning are important aspects of preparing students for a complex health care environment. The purpose of this study was to identify student perceptions of active learning practices incorporated into the junior year of a new curriculum. METHOD: A descriptive qualitative design using focus group interviews for data collection was used to explore student perceptions of stress, engagement, and self-directed learning in an active learning environment. RESULTS: Three themes emerged from the data, including Feeling Stressed and Overwhelmed, Coping With Stress, and Being Prepared. CONCLUSION: The results of this study highlight how students responded to the increased stress of junior-year nursing courses and the lessons learned by both the students and the faculty teaching junior-year nursing students after a curricular revision and subsequent change in teaching strategies.
