The aim of educational institutions in the field of nursing is to educate nurses with the competences to provide high-quality care to their patients, meaning that students need to learn about evidence-based practice and how to translate the knowledge, skills, competency, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours into daily practice. The bachelor thesis is the ultimate test for undergraduate nursing students to present what they have learned.
The aim of this study was to explore undergraduate nursing students' experiences of conducting clinical projects in their bachelor theses.
We used qualitative focus-group interviews to gain a deeper understanding of the students' experiences of conducting clinical projects in their bachelor theses as an approach to learn about evidence-based practice. The analyses focused on meaning according to Brinkmann and Kvale.
Eighteen out of 22 eligible students who had chosen to participate in ongoing clinical research projects and write an academic paper as their bachelor thesis were included in this study. The students were all females and divided into three focus groups. The clinical projects were conducted in a public hospital, a private hospital, nursing homes, or within home-care nursing. The analyses showed that conducting clinical projects in the bachelor thesis provided the students with important knowledge for providing evidence-based care and it. motivated them to want to initiate future clinical projects as nurses., They got valuable hands-on experience for how to conduct research, and made the students aware of the importance of keeping themselves updated on the latest knowledge.
Conducting clinical research projects on a bachelor level provide undergraduate nursing students with important knowledge of how to provide evidence-based nursing care to their patients. Learning how to conduct clinical research projects is also important for motivating future nurses to initiate research aiming to improve clinical nursing practice.
护理领域教育机构的目标是培养具备为患者提供高质量护理能力的护士，这意味着学生需要学习循证实践，以及如何将知识、技能、能力、信念、态度和行为转化为日常实践。本科毕业论文是本科护理专业学生展示所学知识的终极考验。
本研究旨在探索本科护理专业学生在撰写本科毕业论文时开展临床项目的经历。
我们采用定性焦点小组访谈，以更深入地了解学生在本科毕业论文中开展临床项目的经历，以此作为了解循证实践的一种方式。分析聚焦于布林克曼和克瓦尔所提出的意义。
22名选择参与正在进行的临床研究项目并撰写学术论文作为本科毕业论文的合格学生中，有18名被纳入本研究。这些学生均为女性，分为三个焦点小组。临床项目在公立医院、私立医院、养老院或家庭护理机构中进行。分析表明，在本科毕业论文中开展临床项目为学生提供了提供循证护理的重要知识，激发了他们未来作为护士开展临床项目的意愿。他们获得了开展研究的宝贵实践经验，并使学生意识到不断更新自身知识的重要性。
本科阶段开展临床研究项目为本科护理专业学生提供了如何为患者提供循证护理的重要知识。学习如何开展临床研究项目对于激励未来护士开展旨在改善临床护理实践的研究也很重要。
