Abstract
Objective
To identify predictors and factors associated with the satisfaction of nursing students regarding the curriculum and school activities, social/professional interaction, and environment of the undergraduate program.
Methods
Cross-sectional study, conducted with 123 nursing students of a public university. The Nursing Student Satisfaction Scale was the research instrument. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.
Results
In the descriptive analysis, the curriculum and teaching dimension presented the highest mean (3.57), followed by the environment dimension (3.33), and social/professional interactions (3.28). Younger students and those who had children, more intensely acknowledged the curriculum and teaching dimension as a factor promoting satisfaction.
Conclusion
It is necessary to promote improvements in the education and training scenario, investing in curriculum issues and education, to contribute to a satisfactory academic experience through the reduction of barriers to academic education.
