Abstract

Background: Exemplar education is becoming an essential aspect of teaching to improve students’ self-monitoring and regulation, as well as manage learning stress and burnout. It provides students with samples of actual previous students' work from various standards. It has a great impact on learning and achievements leading to an improvement in students’ professional commitment. Aim:  Examine the effect of using an exemplar education program on nursing students' professional commitment and learning burnout at the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University. Design: Quasi-experimental design. Sample: 315 third-year undergraduate nursing students during the academic year 2022-2023. Tool: The study included three tools; Self-administer Knowledge Questionnaire, Nurses' Professional Commitment Inventory, and Primary Students Learning Burnout Scale (PSLBS). Results: 55.5% of the studied students had a high level of professional commitment before implementing a program and 67% of them had a high level after implementation. Also, 35.3% of the studied students had a low level of learning burnout before implementing the program, and 96.2% of them had a low level after implementation. The studied students’ knowledge about exemplar education was improved post and after three months with percentages of 100%, and 94.3% respectively. Conclusion: Compared to their pre-intervention level, the knowledge of the studied students improved after the program's implementation. There was a high statistical significance of implementing an exemplar education program on professional commitment. There was a highly statistically significant effect of implementing an exemplar education program on the learning burnout of the studied students.  Recommendations: Incorporate exemplar education into the nursing curriculum to decrease the level of students learning burnout and provide student feedback technique on a regular basis.
