Purpose : Self-directed learning is an independent style of learning which focuses on a learner own will to learn new skills. It helps in academic as well as practical life. To assess the level of enhancement in self-management, self –control and learning desire as a result of self-directed learning readiness in nursing students.
Methodology: A cross sectional descriptive study design. Results were collected from nursing students by using self-administered questionnaires covers demographic data and Fisher’s self-directed learning readiness scale (SDLRS).
Results: There were 145 participants in the study. Total number of participants aged 16-20 was 39 (26.9%) and 21-25 was 106 (73.1%). There were 19 (13.1%) participants from 1st year, 37 (25.5) participants from 2nd, 60(41.4) participants from 3rd and 29 (20%) participants from 4th year. All were females.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The present study revealed that participants showed adequate level of readiness towards SDL which can be helpful in promoting life-long learning.
