Aim: The purpose of this integrative review is to identify ways to decrease student attrition in schools of nursing.
Background: Many nursing students have anxiety, lack finances, face an absence of faculty or peer support, and have decreased overall satisfaction with the realities of nursing. This integrative review demonstrates that a significant percentage of nursing students leave school before completing their program.
Method: Manuscripts were selected for this study to evaluate effective interventions to increase retention rates for first-year nursing students. Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria.
Results: Interventions to decrease attrition include effective teaching methods and styles; utilization of an advisor, clinical coach, or mentor; stress reduction; faculty support; students' background; and perceptions of nursing.
Conclusion: Educators have the option of using several supportive measures to decrease attrition in nursing programs.
