| Introduction: Nursing education at the undergraduate level is fundamental to the
training of professional nurse. In this respect, the effectiveness of nursing education
programs should be evaluated. Students are the main stockholders of the educational
system and head nurses as the witnesses of students’ effectiveness in patient care are
placed in the best positions to evaluate the educational system. The purpose of this
study was to assess the achievement of educational goals from the perspectives of
undergraduate nursing students and head nurses.
Methods: This descriptive study was based on the approach of managementbased
evaluation using the CIPP’s model. All senior students and head nurses were
selected using the census sampling method. Data was gathered using a researchermade
questionnaire that had two parts: demographic data questions and achievement
to educational objectives in provision of care to patients. The data was analyzed using
descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The majority of the students (63%) and head nurses (80%) reported the
level of achievement of the educational objectives as partly desirable. Despite the
higher scores from students’ perspectives compared to those of head nurses, no
significant difference was reported between the two groups regarding achievement of
educational goals (P=0.79).
Conclusion: Despite the partly desirable level of achievement of educational
goals, the recognition of obstacles to achievement of the goals are suggested.
