The aims of this study were to: 1) identify the clinical skills that students self-identified as being important for preparing for their first-year clinical practicum and 2) explore first-year students' self-confidence when practising these self-identified skills.
First year clinical preparation courses in an undergraduate nursing curriculum are important for students to develop their self-confidence to prepare for their clinical placement experience.
A descriptive study design, using a digital workbook, was used to anonymously collect data from first year nursing students at a regional Queensland university.
Participants were requested to: 1) self-identify clinical psychomotor skills that were practised in the first-year nursing laboratories; and 2) to rate their confidence with these skills.
Seven key practice areas: medication, manual handling, wound management, respiratory care, cardiac care, vital signs and infant care, were identified by participants as important to prepare for clinical practicum. Australian first-year nursing students being able to articulate psychomotor skills important for their initial clinical practicum maybe relevant to and inform nurse education internationally. Participants rated their self-confidence positively across these practice areas.
This study highlights that first-year nursing students can articulate nursing practice skills that are important for their clinical practice.
本研究旨在：1）确定学生认为对准备第一年临床实习重要的临床技能；2）探讨一年级学生在练习这些自我认定技能时的自信程度。
本科护理课程中的第一年临床准备课程对于学生培养自信以准备临床实习体验非常重要。
使用数字工作簿的描述性研究设计，从昆士兰州一所地区性大学的一年级护理学生中匿名收集数据。
要求参与者：1）自我确定在第一年护理实验室中实践的临床运动技能；2）对这些技能的自信程度进行评分。
参与者确定了七个关键实践领域：用药、手动操作、伤口管理、呼吸护理、心脏护理、生命体征和婴儿护理，这些领域对于临床实习准备非常重要。澳大利亚一年级护理学生能够明确表达对其初始临床实习重要的运动技能，这可能与国际护理教育相关，并为其提供信息。参与者对这些实践领域的自我信心评价较高。
本研究强调，一年级护理学生能够明确表达对其临床实践重要的护理实践技能。
