To explore the concept of role modelling in undergraduate nurse education and its effect on the personal and professional development of student nurses.
Effective educative strategies are important for student nurses, who have to cope with learning in both clinical and university settings. Given the contemporary issues facing nurse education and practice in the United Kingdom (UK), it is timely and important to undertake pedagogical research into the concept of role modelling as an effective educative method.
A descriptive narrative approach.
Unstructured interviews were conducted with 14 current/recently discontinued students from Adult and Mental Health branches of nursing degree programmes in the north-west region of England, United Kingdom (UK). Data were thematically analysed.
Students valued exposure to positive role models in clinical and university settings and viewed them as beneficial to their learning. Exposure to negative role models occurred, and this provided students with opportunities to consider the type of nurse they aspired to become. In some cases, students' exposure to perceived poor practice had an adverse effect on their learning and led to negative feelings about nursing work. Clinical staff might be perceived as more relevant role models than those in the university setting although there were still opportunities for academic staff to model professional behaviours.
The study found that role modelling is an effective way to support learning and led to student satisfaction across both clinical and university settings. The findings support the use of role models in nurse education, and further research about conscious positive modelling of practice is required.
Exploring the use of role models is important when examining ways in which the quality of nurse education might be developed.
探讨本科护理教育中榜样示范的概念及其对学生护士个人和职业发展的影响。
有效的教育策略对学生护士很重要，他们必须应对临床和大学环境中的学习。鉴于英国护理教育和实践面临的当代问题，对榜样示范这一有效教育方法的概念进行教学研究既及时又重要。
描述性叙事方法。
对英国英格兰西北部护理学位课程成人及心理健康分支的14名在读/近期毕业学生进行了非结构化访谈。对数据进行了主题分析。
学生重视在临床和大学环境中接触积极榜样，并认为这对他们的学习有益。也会接触到负面榜样，这为学生提供了思考自己渴望成为何种护士的机会。在某些情况下，学生接触到的不良实践对他们的学习产生了不利影响，并导致他们对护理工作产生负面情绪。临床工作人员可能被视为比大学环境中的人员更具相关性的榜样，尽管学术人员仍有机会示范专业行为。
该研究发现榜样示范是支持学习的有效方式，并在临床和大学环境中都能让学生满意。研究结果支持在护理教育中使用榜样，并且需要对有意识的积极实践示范进行进一步研究。
在探讨提高护理教育质量的方法时，研究榜样示范的应用很重要。
