dc.description.abstract | Background: Clinical practice learning is designed to prepare nursing
students to become professional nurses, students are required to meet
competency achievement targets. To comprehensively achieve these
targets, students must employ effective learning strategies, one of which
is Self-Directed Learning Readiness.
Objectives: To explore the strategies nursing students use to meet basic
nursing competencies through Self-Directed Learning Readiness.
Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design with a onegroup pretest-posttest model with total sampling, about 91 respondents
of second-semester students from the Diploma 3 Nursing Program who
conducted clinical practice. The intervention was carried out during the
basic nursing clinical practice, with the approach of the stages in SDLR
(plan-implementation-monitoring-evaluation). Respondents were given
daily journaling which was filled in every day regarding the plan,
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of 58 basic nursing
competency achievements. After the basic nursing clinical practice
ended, respondents completed the post-test questionnaire. Data analysis
was performed using an independent sample t-test.
Results: The results showed that the majority of students achieved
excellent scores (91%) in meeting basic nursing clinical practice
competencies. The competency assessment covers three main aspects:
knowledge, attitude, and psychomotor skills, with average scores of 82,
84.3, and 83, respectively. The results of statistical tests using the
Independent T-Test showed that there was a positive effect of SDLR on
the Competency Achievements of Basic Nursing Clinical Students with
a p-value <0.05.
Conclusion: Students with higher levels of SDLR tend to be more
independent in managing time, utilizing various learning resources, and
practicing clinical skills. The basic competencies achieved include
cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, reflecting their readiness
