Objective: To evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the Bachelor of Nursing Science Program (Revised Curriculum 2019) at the Faculty of Nursing, Mahasarakham University using the CIPP Model framework, which includes four components: Context, Input, Process, and Product.
Research Design: A descriptive mixed-methods research design was applied.
Methods: Participants included nursing students, faculty members, administrators, alumni, and employers. Research instruments comprised a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics—mean and standard deviation while qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.
Results: The overall quality of the program was rated as “very good” across all dimensions, with mean scores of 4.46 (SD = 0.41) for context, 4.35 (SD = 0.42) for input, 4.63 (SD = 0.45) for process, and 4.53 (SD = 0.39) for product. Stakeholder satisfaction was at a high level 4.13 (SD = 0.59), reflecting the program’s relevance, effectiveness, and responsiveness to the needs of graduates and employers.
Conclusion: The program demonstrated strong readiness in faculty competency, teaching-learning processes, and graduate outcomes. Policy recommendations include developing digital and innovation competencies among faculty and students, strengthening collaboration with healthcare service networks, and applying continuous CIPP-based curriculum evaluation to enhance nursing education quality in line with international standards and the evolving healthcare system.
