Dear Participants,

Greetings of peace and Prosperity!

We, the students from Level III Bachelor of Science in Nursing under the College of
Health Sciences of Notre Dame University, are presently conducting a research study,
entitled “The Relationship Between Physical Study Environment and Academic
Productivity of Nursing Students in Notre Dame University”.

This study will be beneficial to you since it will provide you ideas on how to create and
maximize a study area that supports your learning and has a positive effect on your
academic productivity. Additionally, you'll learn about the difficulties associated with
creating a supportive learning environment and have the opportunity to look into possible
solutions. Your involvement in this study will help the researchers in gathering data
regarding the complex dynamics of this relationship, uncovering the elements that
enhance or hinder academic productivity, with the ultimate goal of fostering better
learning approaches and environments. If you consent to take part in this research study,
you will get a survey questionnaire from the researchers in person.

In addition, we guarantee that all the data gathered from this survey will be handled with
the greatest confidentiality and respect. The researchers will make sure your identity will
