No study has addressed the experiences of Iranian nursing students learning and using nursing theories.
We investigated the experiences of Iranian postgraduate nursing students learning and using nursing theories.
A qualitative study was conducted on 25 Master's degree nursing students who had completed the course of nursing theories in three selected nursing schools in Iran. Semistructured interviews were conducted. Data analysis was performed using a content analysis approach.
Most of the students had positive experiences of learning and using nursing theories. Three main categories emerged from the data namely "a refreshing opening," "needing support," and "clinical usefulness." Nursing theories refreshed the students' view of the nursing profession, strengthened their professional values, helped them recognize professional boundaries, and practice a comprehensive care.
The nursing education system should prepare expert teachers for teaching nursing theories. Nursing managers should support nurses to implement these theories.
尚无研究探讨伊朗护理专业学生学习和应用护理理论的体验。
本研究旨在调查伊朗研究生护理学生学习和应用护理理论的体验。
在伊朗三所选定的护理学校,对 25 名完成护理理论课程的硕士护理学生进行了一项定性研究。采用半结构式访谈收集资料,采用内容分析法进行数据分析。
大多数学生对学习和应用护理理论有积极的体验。研究结果中出现了三个主要类别,分别是“令人耳目一新的开端”“需要支持”和“临床实用性”。护理理论使学生对护理专业有了新的认识,增强了他们的职业价值观,帮助他们认识到专业界限,并进行全面的护理。
护理教育系统应为护理理论的教学配备专家教师。护理管理人员应支持护士实施这些理论。
