Abstract

The study examined the preparedness level of level lll nursing students for their first exposure to the operating room during the Academic Year 2023-2024. A sample of 100 students was selected through purposive sampling, with various statistical analyses employed, including standard deviation, t-test for independent samples, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s r. The key findings revealed a moderate level of preparedness among level lll nursing students for their initial exposure to the operating room in selected hospitals in Jolo. Interestingly, gender, age, parent’s educational attainment, and parent’s average monthly income did not significantly influence how students assessed the preparedness level of level lll nursing students. Additionally, students who perceived the preparedness level in terms of Maintaining Sterility as moderately prepared were likely to rate other aspects similarly. The study also supports Benner’s Novice to Expert Model, emphasizing the importance of gaining nursing knowledge over time through various experiences and a solid educational foundation.
