Due to the need for students to integrate theory with practice, current research seeks the best learning and teaching models in primary healthcare settings. The aim of this study was to explore preceptors' and nursing students' experiences of using peer learning during clinical practice in primary health care.
A qualitative research approach was used based on semi-structured interviews with seven preceptors and ten nursing students. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed by using content analysis based on an inductive reasoning.
Preceptors and students perceived peer learning as an educational model to be beneficial for learning in primary care settings. They found the model to be stimulating, challenging, and leading to development of professional identity and nursing skills. All informants were positive towards the peer learning experience, with students reporting they were seen as individuals, despite working in pairs. However, the physical environment was demanding with regards to telephone counseling issues, limited opportunities for using computers, and the use of small examination rooms.
This study shows that, despite the complex learning environment, peer learning as an educational model appears to work well in a primary healthcare setting. However, much improvement is needed to facilitate the students' learning process. Consequently, conditions for clinical practice and learning beneficial to both students and preceptors should be prioritized by management.
由于学生需要将理论与实践相结合,当前的研究在探寻初级卫生保健环境中最佳的学习和教学模式。本研究的目的是探讨带教老师和护理专业学生在初级卫生保健临床实践中运用同伴学习的体验。
采用定性研究方法,对七名带教老师和十名护理专业学生进行半结构化访谈。访谈内容经转录后,运用基于归纳推理的内容分析法进行分析。
带教老师和学生认为同伴学习是一种有利于在初级保健环境中学习的教育模式。他们发现这种模式具有启发性、挑战性,能促进专业认同感和护理技能的发展。所有受访者对同伴学习体验持积极态度,学生们表示,尽管是两人一组学习,但他们被视为个体。然而,在电话咨询问题方面,物理环境要求较高,使用电脑的机会有限,且使用的是小型检查室。
本研究表明,尽管学习环境复杂,但同伴学习作为一种教育模式在初级卫生保健环境中似乎效果良好。然而,要促进学生的学习过程,仍有很大的改进空间。因此,管理层应优先考虑有利于学生和带教老师的临床实践和学习条件。
