The research instrument consisted of (1) personal information record form, (2) questionnaire on organizing learning activities, (3) questionnaire on interaction between teachers and students, and (4) questionnaire on student identity. The reliability of those three questionnaires was tested using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, yielding a number of .88,.86,.84, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation coefficient.
The results showed that the average nursing identity of the nursing students was at a high level (Mean 4.07, (SD 0.47). Year of studied, interaction between teachers and students, and organizing learning activities had a positive relationship with the nursing student’s identity, yielding statistically significant at the .05 level (r .190, r .470, and r .680, respectively).
