ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to find some of the causes of poor study habits among final year students of the 3 health training institutions in the Bolgatanga Municipality. The target population for the study comprised of all final year students of the health training institutions of the Bolgatanga Municipality totaling 240. The sample size was made up of 42 males and 18 females numbering sixty (60). The research design for the study was the descriptive sampling survey and the instrument used for the collection of data was the questionnaire. Analysis of data was done using the simple percentage description, means, frequencies and the Ttest. Some of the results revealed that:- The female students in both schools generally have difficulty in concentrating fully on their studies. Students of the Nurses Training Colleges have well structured procedures for studying. Some of the recommendations made were that, a quiet and comfortable study environment should be provided by the school authorities in the Nursing Schools. It is again recommended that televisions and loud music should not be entertained in certain areas including hostels of students, during studies time. It was recommended again that formation of groups, comprising 3 to 6 students with similar goals and objectives should be adopted in the Nursing Schools and among the students, since an effective study group is an important tool to students’ academic success.
