Aim To investigate pre-registration nursing students' experience of research during clinical placements, and to identify any positive aspects or barriers to gaining experience of research during clinical placements. Method Qualitative, phenomenological, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with preregistration degree-level nursing students. The students were attending one university in the east of England, and were on clinical placements at one of three hospital sites in two trusts. Data were reviewed using thematic analysis. Findings The main themes that emerged from the interview data were: visibility, mentor influence, placement culture, student mindset, and role of the university. The study participants provided suggestions that could be adopted by universities and trusts to improve nursing students' experience of research during clinical placements, such as increasing opportunities to shadow research teams, introducing research earlier in the pre-registration course, and including a practical research module in the course. Conclusion Nursing students' experience of research during their clinical placements varied. It is important for trusts and universities to identify ways to improve nursing students' experience of research and to enhance their research learning, since research activity drives innovation and best practice.
目的 调查预注册护理专业学生在临床实习期间的研究经历，并确定在临床实习中获得研究经验的任何积极方面或障碍。方法 对预注册学位水平的护理专业学生进行了定性、现象学、半结构化访谈。这些学生就读于英格兰东部的一所大学，并在两个信托机构的三个医院站点之一进行临床实习。使用主题分析法对数据进行了审查。结果 访谈数据中出现的主要主题是：可见性、导师影响、实习文化、学生心态和大学的作用。研究参与者提出了一些建议，大学和信托机构可以采用这些建议来改善护理专业学生在临床实习期间的研究经历，例如增加跟随研究团队学习的机会、在预注册课程中更早地引入研究内容，以及在课程中纳入一个实践研究模块。结论 护理专业学生在临床实习期间的研究经历各不相同。信托机构和大学确定改善护理专业学生研究经历并加强其研究学习的方法非常重要，因为研究活动推动创新和最佳实践。
