Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, nurse education institutions are required to create innovative and diverse educational methods to ensure the continued learning of undergraduate nursing students. We developed a telehealth clinical practice program to address this challenge.
We explored the students' learning experiences of our telehealth clinical practice program by qualitatively analyzing student reports.
The participants were fourth-year undergraduate students who had taken the telehealth clinical practice program at Hiroshima University. Data were collected as reports from the participants during clinical practice and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Of the 59 students who completed the practical training, 26 agreed to participate in the study (consent rate: 44.1%). Sixteen themes emerged from the analysis as the students' learning experiences, and were classified into four thematic categories: (1) recognition of continued self-improvement required to become a nurse and development of a sense of ethics, (2) improvement of knowledge and practical skills in chronic care nursing, (3) acquisition of telehealth skills, and (4) learning through modeling and teamwork, and improvement of self-efficacy. Interacting with persons through telehealth provided an opportunity to learn directly about persons' lives and their experiences of illness, and helped participants develop a sense of responsibility and ethical nursing.
Our study findings indicate that undergraduate nursing students perceived that their attitude, knowledge and skill acquisition improved through this program. We believe that telehealth can have a place as a teaching strategy and this telehealth clinical practice program can be further enhanced the learning effects by combining it with face-to-face training and multidisciplinary education in the future.
在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下，护士教育机构需要创造创新和多样化的教育方法，以确保本科护理学生的持续学习。我们开发了远程医疗临床实践计划来应对这一挑战。
我们通过对学生报告的定性分析，探讨了学生对我们远程医疗临床实践计划的学习体验。
参与者是广岛大学四年级的本科学生，他们参加了远程医疗临床实践计划。数据是从学生在临床实践期间的报告中收集的，并使用主题分析进行分析。
在完成实践培训的 59 名学生中，有 26 名同意参加研究（同意率：44.1%）。分析得出了 16 个主题，作为学生的学习体验，并分为四个主题类别：（1）认识到成为护士需要持续自我提升并培养职业道德感，（2）提高慢性病护理的知识和实践技能，（3）获得远程医疗技能，（4）通过模仿和团队合作学习，提高自我效能感。通过远程医疗与患者互动提供了一个直接了解患者生活和疾病经历的机会，帮助参与者培养责任感和道德护理。
我们的研究结果表明，本科护理学生认为他们通过该计划提高了态度、知识和技能。我们相信，远程医疗可以作为一种教学策略，并且通过将其与面对面培训和多学科教育相结合，未来可以进一步提高该远程医疗临床实践计划的学习效果。
