This qualitative phenomenological research study explores the perceptions and beliefs of undergraduate senior-level nursing students about spiritual well-being in relation to academic persistence and ultimately academic success as measured by timely graduation at a private women’s university in the Midwest. By adding to the body of research and knowledge, nurse educators may better assist students to achieve academic success, which could potentially alleviate the national nursing shortage and decrease financial losses of academic institutions. Nine Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students at a private university in the Midwest participated in semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. Participants were in their senior year and had progressed through the nursing program without withdrawing or failing from any nursing courses.
Using NVivo 12 for data analysis, this researcher found that several themes emerged. Study findings indicated that a correlation between spiritual well-being, academic persistence, and academic success. Nurse educators are encouraged to explore opportunities to promote the spiritual well-being of nursing students. Further research should include quantitative measurements of spiritual well-being.
