The hospital-based scholarship is a relatively recent incentive used by hospitals to recruit new nursing graduates. Few studies have explored the impact of these scholarship programs on hospital recruitment.
To explore the perspectives and expectations of new nursing graduates on the application of a hospital-based scholarship for nursing students.
This study used a qualitative research approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 new nursing graduates from one university in northern Taiwan in 2013. Content analysis was applied to analyze the data.
Two themes were identified by participants who had applied for a hospital-based scholarship: "aspire to be a nursing-scholarship recipient and work towards this aspiration" and "look forward to receiving a nursing-scholarship and imagine possible features of the future life." One theme was identified by participants who had not applied for a hospital-based scholarship: "agree with the policy of hospital-based scholarship but resist the restrictions on their life."
CONCLUSIONS / IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Although both groups agreed that the scholarship program helped relieve financial stresses, participants who had applied for the scholarship tended to hold positive and aggressive attitudes towards the nursing scholarship. Conversely, participants who had not applied for the scholarship did so due to the perceived conflicts between the scholarship and their career plans. It is recommended to consider providing career-planning assistance to new graduates and to arrange that students who sign a scholarship contract have their clinical practice in their working unit in order to improve adaptation.
医院奖学金是医院近年来用于招募新毕业护士的一种激励措施。很少有研究探讨这些奖学金项目对医院招聘的影响。
探讨新毕业护士对医院为护理专业学生设立的奖学金申请的看法和期望。
本研究采用定性研究方法。2013年,采用目的抽样法从台湾北部一所大学招募了20名新毕业护士。运用内容分析法对数据进行分析。
申请医院奖学金的参与者确定了两个主题:“渴望成为护理奖学金获得者并为之努力”和“期待获得护理奖学金并想象未来生活的可能特点”。未申请医院奖学金的参与者确定了一个主题:“认同医院奖学金政策,但抵制对其生活的限制”。
结论/对实践的启示:尽管两组都认为奖学金项目有助于缓解经济压力,但申请奖学金的参与者对护理奖学金往往持积极和进取的态度。相反,未申请奖学金的参与者这样做是因为他们认为奖学金与自己的职业规划存在冲突。建议考虑为新毕业生提供职业规划帮助,并安排签订奖学金合同的学生在其工作单位进行临床实习,以提高适应性。
