This study was conducted to evaluate beginning nursing students' point of view related to caring cancer patients in their first clinical placement.
Data were collected by evaluating the diaries kept by four beginning level nursing students who were assigned to do their fundamentals of nursing clinical practice in hematology clinic from February to May 2011. A qualitative research method was used and data were analyzed using inductive method.
Nursing students experienced anxiety, had difficulties while communicating with cancer patients and observed some negative practices related to patient care and treatment.
During their clinical placement nursing students were able to differentiate right and wrong practices in clinical environment, they tried to tailor their theoretical knowledge to the clinical practice and reported decrease in their anxiety by the end of clinical rotation. Being assigned to care for cancer patients was a stressful experience for the first year students. According to these results, it can be said that clinics such as hematology can be used as a clinical placement only in mandatory conditions for beginning level nursing students because of their limited clinical experience and the knowledge requirement related to these patients.
本研究旨在评估本科阶段护理专业新生在首次临床实习中照顾癌症患者的观点。
通过评估4名本科阶段护理专业新生的日记收集数据，这些学生于2011年2月至5月被分配到血液科诊所进行基础护理临床实习。采用定性研究方法，并使用归纳法对数据进行分析。
护理专业新生经历了焦虑，在与癌症患者沟通时遇到困难，并观察到一些与患者护理和治疗相关的负面行为。
在临床实习期间，护理专业新生能够区分临床环境中的正确与错误行为，他们试图将理论知识应用于临床实践，并报告在临床实习结束时焦虑感有所减轻。对于一年级学生来说，被分配照顾癌症患者是一次压力较大的经历。根据这些结果，可以说由于临床经验有限以及与这些患者相关的知识要求，血液科等诊所在本科阶段护理专业新生的临床实习中，仅在必要条件下才可作为实习场所。
