Abstract
Background: Postgraduate nursing students to complete their studies efficiently need effective 
academic support. Therefore, the Faculty of Nursing must provide a supportive environment to 
all nursing students and control their studies for better academic achievement. Aim: To assess 
the academic support, locus of control and achievement among postgraduate nursing students.
Research design: A descriptive correlation design was used. Setting: The study was conducted 
in all departments of Faculty of Nursing at Tanta University. Subjects: All (N=161) 
postgraduate nursing students who are enrolled in a credit hours system. Tools: Three tools were 
used to collect the data, Perceived Academic Support Scale, Academic Locus of Control, and 
Student Achievement. Results: The majority of the postgraduate nursing students had high 
perception level of academic support and internal academic locus of control. Nearly one third of 
the postgraduate nursing students had very good (B). Conclusion: There was a highly 
statistically significant correlation between postgraduate nursing students' perception of 
academic support and their academic locus of control, while no statistically significant 
correlation between them and academic achievement. Recommendations: Conduct training 
sessions and workshops for faculty staff regularly to foster their role in supporting students 
academically. Make an orientation program for new faculty staff regarding effective 
characteristics and behaviors that students perceived as important.
