The importance of education is true not only because education is an entry point to other opportunities, but also because the educational achievements of women can have ripple effects within families and across generations. However, the effect of the inadequate support system at the University and at home on academic performance, childcare and other domestic chores cannot be overemphasized. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate the challenges encountered in school and the home and also to explore the perceived coping strategies adopted by student nursing mothers in a tertiary institution in Kaduna State College of Education, GidanWaya. A qualitative approach using the descriptive phenomenological design was adopted. Because of the limited number of nursing students, eighteen participants are drawn from an accessible population of 60 students some of which are nursing mothers using a purposive. The study employs the use of a structured questionnaire to analyze student nursing mothers’ responses to the questionnaires administered. The study also reveals a lack of concentration, a lack of time to study and an unfriendly lecture schedule as some challenging experiences of the mothers. On home challenges, student nursing mothers experience a decline in marital happiness and inadequate care of older kids if any. Based on these findings, it may be deduced that the programme structure of the higher institutions programmes is not student-mother-friendly and that student-nursing mothers may have problems with grades and psychological well-being. Again, there may be some lack of lactating resources in the institution which students’ mothers may have utilized to ease the pressure in nursing of their babies. Recommendations are therefore given in light of the study. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Guidance and Counselling project topics and materials you might be interested in»Evaluation of guidance and counselling services in selected secondary schools in Maiduguri, Borno state»The need for guidance and counselling services among Nigeria University students - a case study of some selected universities in Nigeria»An evaluation of guidance and counseling services on the academic performance of biology students in selected secondary schools»The effects of drug abuse on the academic performance of secondary school students»The influence of social media on academic performance of students in Kaduna state college of education, Gidan Waya»An evaluation into the challenges of nursing mothers on academic performance among students»The role of guidance and counseling among traumatized students in some selected schools»Perception of students on the influence of guidance and counselling on academic achievement of secondary school»Influence of cyber bullying on self image on students of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai»Knowledge and utilization of contraceptive service among female student of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai»Influence of drug substance on students learning behaviour in Zarumai Model Secondary School Minna, Niger state
