The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the orders and structures of societies, particularly in the fields of medical and nursing professions. The researcher aims to understand the experiences, sense of belonging, and decision-making processes about Japanese pre-service nursing students and how the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing, and lockdown has influenced their understanding as pre-service nursing professionals in Japan. As this study focuses on the issues of pre-service nursing students, the researcher invited forty-nine pre-service nursing students for a virtual interview due to the recommendation of social distancing. To increase the coverage of the population, the researcher employed snowball sampling to recruit participants from all over Japan. Although the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the overall performance of the medical and nursing professions, all participants showed a sense of belonging as Japanese citizens and nursing professionals due to the natural disaster of their country. More importantly, all expressed their desires and missions to upgrade and improve the overall performance of the public health system due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results discovered that many Japanese nursing students advocated that Japan's national development, the benefits and advantages of their country, were of a greater importance than their own personal development and goals.
新冠疫情改变了社会的秩序和结构，尤其是在医疗和护理行业。本研究旨在了解日本护理专业学生的经历、归属感和决策过程，以及新冠疫情、社交距离和封锁如何影响他们作为日本预备护理专业人员的理解。由于本研究侧重于预备护理学生的问题，研究人员因社交距离的建议，邀请了四十九名预备护理学生进行虚拟访谈。为了增加人口的涵盖面，研究人员采用滚雪球抽样法从日本各地招募参与者。尽管新冠疫情对医疗和护理行业的整体表现产生了影响，但所有参与者都表现出了作为日本公民和护理专业人员的归属感，这是由于他们国家的自然灾害。更重要的是，由于新冠疫情的影响，所有参与者都表达了他们希望升级和改善公共卫生系统整体表现的愿望和使命。研究结果发现，许多日本护理学生认为日本的国家发展、国家的利益和优势比他们自己的个人发展和目标更为重要。
