This qualitative study aims to provide insight into how Australian New Graduate Nurses (NGNs) experienced their transition to acute care nursing practice.
Nine NGNs each participated in three in-depth interviews conducted across their first year of practice. Constant comparative analysis was used to identify the emergent themes.
The desire to fit in (establishment of secure social bonds) with ward staff is an important element of NGN transition experiences. Fitting in was about feeling one's self to be part of a social group, and participants made it clear that their perceptions of their success in establishing secure and meaningful social bonds in each new ward was extremely important for their sense of being as NGNs. Current NGN Transition Programmes (NGNTPs) involve multiple ward rotations, increasing the demand for the NGN to fit in. Thus participants were engaged in a deeply personal transition experience that was not necessarily aligned with multiple ward rotations.
Although NGNTPs have the word "transition" in their title, it may be that current programmes are more focussed on organisations' desire to "orient" NGNs to working within the acute care setting than facilitating personal transitions to practice. Further investigation of the impact of NGNTPs on NGNs and the associated multiple ward rotations is required.
本定性研究旨在深入了解澳大利亚新入职护士（NGN）在过渡到急性护理实践中的体验。
9 名 NGN 每人参与了三次深度访谈，访谈时间横跨他们入职的第一年。采用恒定性比较分析来识别出浮现的主题。
融入（与病房工作人员建立稳固的社会关系）的愿望是 NGN 过渡体验的一个重要元素。融入是指感觉自己是一个社会群体的一部分，参与者明确表示，他们在每个新病房中成功建立稳固而有意义的社会关系的看法，对他们作为 NGN 的认同感非常重要。当前的 NGN 过渡计划（NGNTP）涉及多次病房轮转，这增加了 NGN 融入的需求。因此，参与者经历了一种深刻的个人过渡体验，而这种体验不一定与多次病房轮转相一致。
尽管 NGNTP 在其名称中有“过渡”一词，但目前的计划可能更侧重于组织希望“引导”NGN 适应急性护理环境的愿望，而不是促进个人过渡到实践。需要进一步调查 NGNTP 对 NGN 的影响以及相关的多次病房轮转。
