Occurrence and risk factors of leave of absence and dropout among undergraduate nursing students: A survival analysis
Student attrition risk is significantly associated with academic performance, attendance, and merit records, with early program years being particularly crucial. Implementation of early warning systems, enhanced support during entry period and first two years, and strengthened attendance management are recommended. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for developing preventive interventions in nursing education.
