| dc.description.abstract | Lifelong learning in nursing will be led to increased quality of education,
development of nursing competency, and finally, increased quality of patient care. Nursing is
a lifelong profession and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) is a valuable skill to remain relevant
and productive professionals. Nursing students are expected to embrace SDL and develop these
skills. This review aimed to discover determinant factors of Self-Directed Learning as a
foundation for being a lifelong learner, Methods: The scoping review method adapted the
Arksey and O’Malley framework. There were 11 out of 290 articles selected based on inclusion
and exclusion criteria. Results: Self-Directed Learning Readiness built from three themes
namely self-management, desire to learn, and self-control. Combining all the evidence, the
results showed that SDL was shaped by internal factors (age, gender, self-efficacy, intelligence,
desire, motivation, willingness to learn, level of education) and external factors (environment,
learning opportunities, cooperation). In the SDLR method, the learning process changes from
teacher-directed to learner-directed. Conclusions: Nursing institutions should provide the
necessary resources to embrace SDL as a main-line teaching method to ensure competent
lifelong professionals. | en_US |
