Nursing identity is an important element of being a nurse. Student nurses begin the construction of their nursing identity during their clinical placements.
The aim of this research was to examine how the student nurses of a regional Australian university construct their identity when on off-campus clinical placement.
METHODS/DESIGN: Using a constructivist approach an online survey was used to elicit data in response to the question 'What elements are needed during the work integrated learning experience to enable undergraduate nursing students to construct their nursing identity?'
RESULTS/FINDINGS: Findings reveal five key elements to the construction of students' nursing identity; positive role models, belonging, peer support, critical thinking abilities and confidence.
Such findings are important as they provide information for student nurses, preceptors and educators in guiding clinical placement experiences that are able to facilitate the development of the nursing identity.
护理身份认同是成为一名护士的重要要素。护理专业学生在临床实习期间开始构建他们的护理身份认同。
本研究的目的是探讨澳大利亚一所地区性大学的护理专业学生在进行校外临床实习时如何构建他们的身份认同。
方法/设计：采用建构主义方法，通过在线调查来收集数据，以回答“在工作整合学习经历中，需要哪些要素才能使本科护理专业学生构建他们的护理身份认同？”这一问题。
结果/发现：研究结果揭示了学生护理身份认同构建的五个关键要素；积极的榜样、归属感、同伴支持、批判性思维能力和信心。
这些发现很重要，因为它们为护理专业学生、带教老师和教育工作者提供了信息，以指导能够促进护理身份认同发展的临床实习经历。
