This study aimed to explore the cluster patterns of female nursing students' perceptions of the effects of menstrual distress during clinical practice. This study adopted the Q-methodology study design. We recruited female nursing students from a college in northern Taiwan. Forty-seven Q-statements were constructed to explore participants' experiences of the impact of menstrual distress on clinical learning. In total, 58 participants subjectively ranked Q-statements concerning menstrual distress experiences during clinical practice and were classified. After Q-sorting, the subjective ranking process PQ Method (version 2.35, Schmolck, Emmendingen, Germany) was employed for factor analysis. Four patterns of shared perspectives, accounting for 46.6% of the total variance, were identified: (a) influencing clinical learning and making good use of painkillers; (b) responsible attitudes and diversified relief of discomfort; (c) seeking peer support and effect on mood; (d) negative impact on learning ability and conservative self-care. Clinical practice is a major component of nursing education; menstrual distress affects female nursing students' clinical learning and performance. The exploration of clustering different nursing students' perceptions may facilitate customized strategies to enable more appropriate assistance.
本研究旨在探讨女护生对经期不适在临床实习中影响的认知聚类模式。本研究采用了 Q 方法学设计。我们招募了来自台湾北部一所学院的女护生。共构建了 47 个 Q 陈述，以探讨参与者在临床学习中经历经期不适影响的体验。共有 58 名参与者对临床实习期间经期不适经历的 Q 陈述进行了主观排序并进行了分类。在 Q 分类后，采用主观排序过程 PQ 方法（版本 2.35，Schmolck，Emmendingen，德国）进行因子分析。确定了四个具有共享观点的模式，占总方差的 46.6%：（a）影响临床学习和善用止痛药；（b）负责任的态度和缓解不适的多样化方法；（c）寻求同伴支持和对情绪的影响；（d）对学习能力和保守自我护理的负面影响。临床实践是护理教育的重要组成部分；经期不适影响女护生的临床学习和表现。探索不同护生认知的聚类可能有助于制定定制化策略，以提供更适当的帮助。
