This study conveys preclinical healthcare professions students' sentiments at 14 universities during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Essays about students' thoughts and experiences were thematically sorted and revealed a variety of sentiments spanning from positive (e.g., pride, respect) to the more negative (e.g., anxiety, guilt, disappointment, anger). Themes revealed respect for the healthcare profession, but also the realization of its limitations, sacrifices, and risks. Healthcare profession educators need to be aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected students emotionally and may have long-term effects on the global healthcare profession. This study can serve as a historic documentation of how this generation of students felt and adds to the literature on how the pandemic affected the healthcare profession.
本研究传达了2020年新冠疫情期间14所大学临床前医疗保健专业学生的情绪。关于学生想法和经历的文章按主题分类,揭示了从积极情绪(如自豪、尊重)到较为消极情绪(如焦虑、内疚、失望、愤怒)的各种情绪。主题显示出对医疗保健行业的尊重,但也意识到了其局限性、牺牲和风险。医疗保健行业教育工作者需要意识到,新冠疫情对学生的情绪产生了影响,并且可能对全球医疗保健行业产生长期影响。这项研究可以作为这一代学生感受的历史记录,并为关于疫情如何影响医疗保健行业的文献增添内容。
