Abstract:
The study aims to determine the first-year nursing students’ level of
confidence with their knowledge in basic science concepts. A total of
fifty nursing students enrolled in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina
for the academic year 2021-2022 were involved in the research. Among
the participants, 52% (n=26) took a STEM program in Senior High
School. Results revealed that the respondents are confident with their
knowledge in basic science and agreed with the information associated
with self-confidence. The students' confidence was influenced by the
strand they took in senior high school, followed by the method of teaching used in the subject, and the experience in laboratory. Meanwhile,
their monthly family income is the least important factor influencing
their confidence. Therefore, nursing students, regardless of the strand
they took in senior high, need more engagement in basic science concepts because it significantly contributes to their level of confidence
and knowledge in nursing field.
