The objective of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of nursing students after applying advanced life support techniques on a hospitalised patient in cardiac arrest in a simulated setting. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological study was conducted. Fifty-four nursing students from the University of Almería (Spain) participated. Three main themes and six subthemes were identified, which illustrate the experiences and perceptions of nursing students about performing advanced life support. The main themes were: (1) Analysing practice as part of the learning process, with the subthemes "working in an unknown environment" and "acquiring knowledge as the key to success"; (2) Facing reality: nursing students' perceptions of an emergency situation, with the subthemes "facing stressful elements" and "emotional impact in emergency situations"; (3) Experience as a key element to integrating advanced life support into the healthcare setting, with the subthemes "discovering and facing the experience as a team" and "linking and transferring the situation to a real clinical setting". The nursing students reported that the process of practising for an emergency situation through simulation was a fundamental part of their training, as it allowed them to acquire skills necessary for emergency situations and improve their clinical performance in advanced life support. In addition, they considered the experience a key element in integrating advanced life support into the healthcare setting. The results of this study highlight the need to develop and implement training programs focused on clinical and teamwork skills in nursing programs.
本研究旨在探讨护理学生在模拟环境中对住院心脏骤停患者应用高级生命支持技术后的体验和看法。采用定性描述现象学研究方法。共有来自西班牙阿尔梅里亚大学的 54 名护理学生参与。确定了三个主要主题和六个子主题,这些主题说明了护理学生对实施高级生命支持的体验和看法。主要主题包括:(1)将实践分析作为学习过程的一部分,其下有“在未知环境中工作”和“掌握知识是成功的关键”两个子主题;(2)面对现实:护理学生对紧急情况的看法,包括“面对压力因素”和“紧急情况下的情绪影响”两个子主题;(3)经验是将高级生命支持融入医疗保健环境的关键因素,包含“作为一个团队发现和面对经验”和“将情况联系并转移到真实临床环境”两个子主题。护理学生报告说,通过模拟练习紧急情况的过程是他们培训的重要组成部分,因为这使他们能够获得紧急情况下所需的技能,并提高他们在高级生命支持中的临床表现。此外,他们认为这一经历是将高级生命支持融入医疗保健环境的关键因素。本研究结果强调了在护理课程中开发和实施注重临床和团队技能的培训计划的必要性。
