These factors include both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, student supports within the university and community, the level of faculty involvement, and the opportunity for students to complete remediation. As well, universities need to address the constraints such as faculty shortages and the effects of the current pandemic in addressing student attrition rates within nursing programs.  \nIn the current health care landscape, graduating competent nurses is important to fill the current staffing shortages and prepare for the future needs of the health care system. Over the last number of years, nursing programs have had a drastic increase in student attrition rates (Jeffreys, 2007), particularly in the second year of nursing programs during which attrition rates tend to be highest (Jakubec et al. , 2020) . Given the important role nurses play in providing safe care to patients and families (McLaughlin et al. , 2008) and in consideration of the global nursing shortage (Emerson, 2015), addressing attrition rates in nursing education programs is of paramount concern. Furthermore, it is anticipated that nursing shortages will only become more acute given the COVID-19 pandemic (Fenn, 2021) .  \nWith the increased demand for nurses to graduate, the government has encouraged nursing programs to increase the number of admission seats (Hadenfelt, 2015); however, increased attrition rates create empty seats within nursing programs and result in lost revenue for nursing programs (McLaughlin et al. , 2008) . Most nursing programs in North America are government-subsidized and there is significant financial loss for both the government and students when failure occurs. Many contributing factors influence attrition rates in nursing programs: intrinsic and extrinsic factors, supports, faculty involvement, and the opportunity for remediation.  \nIntrinsic and Extrinsic Factors  \nStudent attrition rates can be related to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. These factors can affect student motivation and academic achievement (Emerson, 2015) . Globally, students are often unprepared for the demands of post-secondary education; often they are unable to write, have limited math skills, and have not developed critical thinking skills (Daniels & Mthimunye, 2019) . Having lower entrance Grade Point Averages (GPA) can influence academic success in nursing programs, because students are academically unprepared for the academic and clinical demands of a professional nursing program (Rolf et al. , 2019) . At-risk students have identified feeling overwhelmed with the demands of a full-time, fast-paced nursing program and often struggle in developing effective study habits (Williams, 2010) .  \nDifficulties in fitting in amongst peers and faculty has been noted as a contributing factor for success within nursing programs (Hadenfelt, 2015) . International students and older students over the age of 24 have voiced problems related to fitting in with the rest of their cohort. This is due to language and cultural differences, as well as differences in life experiences in comparison to their classmates (Rolf et al. , 2019) . Students who have experienced academic failure reported having low self-confidence in their ability to apply theory and clinical abilities (Custer, 2016) . Hesitance to ask for help from faculty members, based on fear of knowledge  \ndeficits, language barriers, and the stigma of asking for help, contribute to academic failure (Daniels & Mthimunye, 2019) .  \nUnfortunately, students may experience academic failure based on external logistical factors (Gaberson et al. , 2015) . Factors such as finding childcare, the financial need ","cbCaikWe4I0t2RD7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikWe4I0t2RD7","pdf",128552,"English","# Abstract\n## Intrinsic and extrinsic factors\n## Supports\n## Faculty involvement","[{\"question\":\"What are the main factors influencing student attrition in nursing programs?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including academic preparedness, motivation, peer and faculty fit, and barriers such as language and stigma around seeking help.\"},{\"question\":\"How do student supports affect retention and academic success?\",\"answer\":\"It states that community-based supports, including university student services, are critical for academic, financial, and emotional success—especially when access is disrupted during the pandemic.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is faculty involvement emphasized in reducing attrition?\",\"answer\":\"The article argues that faculty engagement and constructive feedback help create a supportive learning environment and foster trust, enabling students to connect with academic and community resources and pursue academic goals.\"}]","Addressing Student Attrition in Nursing Education Programs | PDF",1792080510,13]
