Abstract

           The aim of this research was to examine student expectations regarding development, analyze the actual experiences of students in their development, and evaluate the needs associated with student development. The sample was 1,077 students from the Faculty of Nursing at Mahidol University. The research instrument was a questionnaire assessing the needs of Bachelor of Nursing Science students. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while the prioritization of needs was determined using the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNImodified).

           The results showed the average actual condition of student development was at a high level (M = 3.96, SD = .87). The domain of public relations and services exhibited the highest average (M = 4.07, SD = .76), while the dormitory and facility aspect had the lowest mean (M = 3.74, SD =.98). The mean expectations for student development were notably high (M = 4.25, SD = .80). The domain with the highest mean was public relations and services (M = 4.30, SD = .76), whereas the domain of student development activities had the lowest average (M = 4.20, SD = .79). When considering each aspect, the most critical needs were identified in the dormitory and the facility aspect, followed by the services and welfare aspect, and finally the public relations and services aspect.
