The phenomenon of role transition has been investigated by a range of differing professions over a range of time and utilising a range of different methodologies. It is acknowledged by all studies that the period of transition from student to practitioner is a challenging and at times a stressful experience, often culminating in the newly qualified practitioners experiencing the reality shock of practice. This paper explores one of the key subthemes 'reality hits' which was identified during a wider PhD study Being and Becoming a Diagnostic Radiographer.
A longitudinal study was utilised employing an interpretive phenomenological methodology, collating data from nine participants during their first year as a newly qualified diagnostic radiographer. Each participant was interviewed at three months, six months and twelve months.
Six main themes were identified. This paper explores the subtheme 'reality hits' which strongly featured in the three and six month interviews.
Eight of the nine participants found the first three to six months a stressful and emotional time. The experience of the graduates during this time raises issues which need to be used to inform future curriculum development, practice placement models and support strategies.
角色转变现象已被众多不同专业在不同时期采用一系列不同方法进行了研究。所有研究都承认，从学生到从业者的过渡阶段是一段充满挑战且有时压力巨大的经历，往往会让新获得资格的从业者体验到实践中的现实冲击。本文探讨了在一项更广泛的博士研究“成为一名诊断放射技师”中所确定的关键子主题之一“现实冲击”。
采用纵向研究，运用解释现象学方法，收集九名参与者在成为新获得资格的诊断放射技师的第一年的数据。每位参与者在三个月、六个月和十二个月时接受访谈。
确定了六个主要主题。本文探讨了在三个月和六个月访谈中突出呈现的子主题“现实冲击”。
九名参与者中有八名发现最初的三到六个月是充满压力和情绪波动的时期。毕业生在此期间的经历引发了一些问题，这些问题需要用于为未来的课程开发、实习安排模式和支持策略提供参考。
