Several factors contribute to student resistance in nursing. These may include:
Lack of confidence: Nursing students might feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the material or the high stakes of clinical practice. Fear of failure: The fear of making mistakes, especially in clinical settings, can lead to avoidance behaviors. Personal issues: Stress, mental health concerns, or financial problems can distract students and affect their performance. Teaching methods: Instructors’ teaching styles may not align with students' learning preferences, leading to disengagement.
