This study was performed to determine the experiences of nursing students in caring for paediatric cancer patients and their families.
This qualitative survey was carried out with 14 students studying in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university in Edirne, Turkey. Data were obtained through focus group interviews and evaluated based on a qualitative content analysis.
It was determined that students, for the most part, experienced problems related to communication, sadness, helplessness, fear, anxiety, resentment and anger. In addition, the students were affected most often by effects of the disease and invasive procedures on paediatric cancer patients and their families during the process of caring for them in the oncology clinic.
It would be useful to inform nursing students, prior to clinical practice, about the special needs of paediatric cancer patients and families who stay in oncology clinics, and to follow up with appropriate guidance during the clinical practices.
本研究旨在确定护理专业学生护理儿科癌症患者及其家属的经历。
对土耳其埃迪尔内一所大学健康科学学院护理系的14名学生进行了这项定性调查。通过焦点小组访谈获取数据,并基于定性内容分析进行评估。
确定学生在很大程度上经历了与沟通、悲伤、无助、恐惧、焦虑、怨恨和愤怒相关的问题。此外,在肿瘤诊所护理儿科癌症患者及其家属的过程中,学生最常受到疾病和侵入性程序对患者及其家属影响的影响。
在临床实习前告知护理专业学生肿瘤诊所中儿科癌症患者及其家属的特殊需求,并在临床实习期间给予适当指导进行跟进,将是有益的。
