This study has been carried out to study the usefulness of the clinical posting at the National Referral Hospital in Bhutan. It is important to know whether the clinical experience leads to gaining nursing skills, and nursing being a skill-oriented profession, clinical placement provides an opportunity, and education that carry a heavy weight in their wholesome nursing education.
The objective was to explore how nursing students commonly perceive their clinical experience.
A focus group discussion was conducted with eight to ten students/group from three levels of nursing education. The groups were 1-, 2-, and 3-year students who expressed their clinical experiences during the focus group discussions. The data were analyzed by content analysis using a thematic analysis.
Four themes emerged from the focus group discussion. The themes were "good exposure," "connect theory to practice," "anxiety and fear," and "learning by task participation and helping."
The clinical environment is different to classroom. In clinical areas, the students experience stress and anxiety, and learning is through working together, moreover, it finds out that real situation is not what is taught in the classroom.
本研究旨在探讨在不丹国家转诊医院进行临床实习的效用。了解临床经验是否能带来护理技能的提升非常重要，且护理是一个以技能为导向的职业，临床实习提供了一个机会，其在全面的护理教育中具有重要地位。
目的是探讨护理专业学生通常如何看待他们的临床实习经历。
对来自三个护理教育层次的每组八至十名学生进行焦点小组讨论。这些小组分别是一年级、二年级和三年级的学生，他们在焦点小组讨论中分享了自己的临床实习经历。采用主题分析的内容分析法对数据进行分析。
焦点小组讨论中出现了四个主题。这些主题分别是“充分接触”“理论联系实践”“焦虑与恐惧”以及“通过任务参与和帮助进行学习”。
临床环境与课堂不同。在临床领域，学生们会经历压力和焦虑，学习是通过共同协作进行的，此外，还发现实际情况与课堂所学并不一样。
