The following is a qualitative study of reflective journaling related to an unexpected crisis situation as it unfolded through the eyes of nursing students.
In September 2014, nursing students in clinical rotations at a Texas hospital were faced with the arrival of the first unplanned patient soon to be diagnosed with Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the United States. Reflective journaling was a technique used by nursing students to help process thoughts and feelings during this public health crisis.
The students' unedited experiences were captured through the technique of reflective journaling and written comments were analyzed using qualitative design with thematic analysis.
Three main themes were identified as an array of emotions, nursing as a calling, and personal protection.
This study demonstrates how reflective journaling can help reduce the stress of an unexpected clinical situation involving nursing students and encourages immediate coping strategies for those affected. With recent reports from Africa of patients newly diagnosed with EVD, being aware of how to facilitate the learning of nursing students in all clinical settings becomes essential.
以下是一项定性研究，通过护理专业学生的视角，对与突发危机情况相关的反思性日志进行研究。
2014年9月，得克萨斯州一家医院临床实习的护理专业学生面临美国首例即将被诊断为埃博拉病毒病（EVD）的意外患者的到来。反思性日志是护理专业学生在这场公共卫生危机期间用来帮助梳理思想和感受的一种技巧。
通过反思性日志技术记录学生未经编辑的经历，并采用定性设计和主题分析对书面评论进行分析。
确定了三个主要主题，即一系列情绪、护理是一种使命以及个人防护。
本研究表明反思性日志如何有助于减轻护理专业学生意外临床情况带来的压力，并鼓励为受影响者采取即时应对策略。鉴于近期非洲有新诊断出感染埃博拉病毒病患者的报道，了解如何在所有临床环境中促进护理专业学生的学习变得至关重要。
