The first COVID-19 case was confirmed in China in December 2019, and countries around the world rapidly diagnosed new cases from January 2020 onwards. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared an international emergency, characterising it as a pandemic in March 2020. In Spain, final-year Medicine and Nursing students were recruited to reinforce the healthcare system. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach we aimed to clarify the experiences of these final-year year nursing students employed to provide nursing care during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. A total of 20 interviews were conducted with final-year students from six universities who were employed by Catalan Hospitals. Data was analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Analysis identified the meta-category 'feeling the commitment' from the interaction of two categories, 'facing the unknown' and 'being and feeling like a nurse', and five subcategories. Students felt highly committed to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteering to work as nurses despite facing the unknown and not yet having finished their studies. Future Spanish nursing programmes should include 'pandemic and disaster management' content to increase students' preparedness for such scenarios.
2019 年 12 月，中国首次确诊了 COVID-19 病例，自 2020 年 1 月以来，世界各国迅速诊断出新病例。世界卫生组织（WHO）于 2020 年 3 月宣布这是一场国际紧急事件，并将其定性为大流行。在西班牙，招募了医学和护理专业的应届毕业生来加强医疗保健系统。我们采用定性现象学方法，旨在阐明这些应届护理专业毕业生在西班牙 COVID-19 大流行期间从事护理工作的经历。总共对来自六所大学的 20 名应届毕业生进行了采访，他们受雇于加泰罗尼亚医院。使用 Colaizzi 的方法进行数据分析。分析确定了元类别“感受到承诺”，这是两个类别“面对未知”和“成为并感觉像护士”相互作用的结果，还有五个子类别。学生们非常有决心抗击 COVID-19 大流行，尽管面临未知且尚未完成学业，但仍自愿担任护士。未来的西班牙护理课程应包括“大流行和灾害管理”内容，以提高学生对这些情况的准备。
