International research has shown that during work integrated learning (WIL) undergraduate nursing students may experience stress, self-doubt, and coping issues, however personal qualities these students bring to their WIL journey or those needed to succeed during WIL remain unknown.
To describe the views of students midway through their Bachelor of Nursing program regarding personal qualities they bring to and need for WIL success.
This article reports on a descriptive study that used an electronic questionnaire to collect the data.
Bachelor of nursing students (n = 421), who were studying fulltime or part time equivalent, at a regional university in Queensland Australia, were invited to complete the anonymous electronic questionnaire that was developed by the research team following an extensive review of literature. Inclusion criteria required participants to have completed at least one WIL experience and be midway through their three-year Bachelor of Nursing program.
Data were collected during January and February 2017. The electronic questionnaire consisted of demographic, forced choice questions, and open-ended questions. This paper presents the qualitative analysis of responses to two of the open-ended questions that focused on personal strengths and work integrated learning experiences. Data were analysed using the inductive content analysis approach.
Six personal qualities were identified including: enthusiasm to succeed, commitment to learning, self-motivation, confidence, effective communication skills, and compassion.
Pre-entry screening of applicants to bachelor level nursing programs and the delivery of learning opportunities that encourages both reflection and debriefing may assist in describing personal qualities needed to succeed in WIL.
国际研究表明，在实习（WIL）期间，本科护理专业学生可能会经历压力、自我怀疑和应对问题，然而这些学生在其实习过程中所具备的个人素质或实习成功所需的素质仍不为人知。
描述护理专业本科课程学习中期学生对于他们所具备的以及实习成功所需的个人素质的看法。
本文报道了一项描述性研究，该研究使用电子问卷收集数据。
邀请了澳大利亚昆士兰州一所地区性大学的护理专业本科学生（n = 421），他们全日制或相当于全日制学习，让他们完成由研究团队在广泛查阅文献后编制的匿名电子问卷。纳入标准要求参与者至少有一次实习经历，且处于三年制护理本科课程的学习中期。
数据于2017年1月和2月收集。电子问卷包括人口统计学问题、强制选择问题和开放式问题。本文呈现了对两个开放式问题回答的定性分析，这两个问题聚焦于个人优势和实习经历。数据采用归纳性内容分析法进行分析。
确定了六种个人素质，包括：成功的热情、学习的投入、自我激励、自信、有效的沟通技巧和同情心。
对本科护理专业课程申请者进行入学前筛选，并提供鼓励反思和汇报的学习机会，可能有助于明确实习成功所需的个人素质。
