This study aimed to explore nursing students' experiences of caring for older people in practice and to examine the factors that affected their perceptions of working with these patients.
A qualitative research design was used and data were collected by focus groups.
Participants entered clinical placements early in their course with clear caring values, which formed a central part of their decision to enter nursing. However, early encounters and observations in the practice setting challenged these ideals.
Positive learning environments should be developed that enable students to retain clear caring values and to realise the potential of caring practice while reconciling its demands.
本研究旨在探索护理专业学生在实际护理老年人过程中的经历，并考察影响他们对护理这些患者认知的因素。
采用质性研究设计，通过焦点小组收集数据。
参与者在课程早期进入临床实习时，带着明确的关爱价值观，这是他们决定从事护理工作的核心因素。然而，在实践环境中的早期接触和观察对这些理想构成了挑战。
应营造积极的学习环境，使学生能够保持明确的关爱价值观，在协调护理工作要求的同时，认识到关爱实践的潜力。
