Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic that has modified all social and, especially, learning instances. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of final-year nursing students at a university in southern Chile regarding the impact of the pandemic on their learning, and consequently on their quality of life, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a qualitative study. The research was conducted on 14 nursing students who were selected from a university located in the province of Talca, Maule Region, Chile. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews conducted during July and September 2021. The data were analyzed using the inductive logic of theoretical categorization; this process was assisted by the Nvivo 10 program.
Two mega categories were generated that accounted for the nursing students' experience during the COVID-19 pandemic: objective factors category and subjective factors category. Six subcategories were derived from these two categories: free time, social relationships, learning from practice, physical exercise, eating habits, and emotional state.
The research findings indicate that the students, in addition to feeling upset about not being able to do the internship, also feel that they have not been able to acquire all the knowledge necessary for their training and professional development, since the virtual classes fail to deliver adequate learning as they lack the practical component that is so important in their careers. This has repercussions in the physical, social, and psychological areas, affecting their quality of life.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一场全球大流行疾病,改变了所有社会状况,尤其是学习环境。本研究的目的是确定智利南部一所大学的护理学专业最后一年学生对疫情对其学习的影响的看法,以及因此在COVID-19大流行背景下对其生活质量的影响。
这是一项定性研究。研究对象为从智利马乌莱大区塔尔卡省的一所大学挑选出的14名护理学专业学生。数据收集通过2021年7月至9月期间进行的半结构化访谈完成。使用理论分类的归纳逻辑对数据进行分析;此过程借助Nvivo 10程序辅助完成。
生成了两个主要类别,涵盖了护理学专业学生在COVID-19大流行期间的经历:客观因素类别和主观因素类别。从这两个类别中衍生出六个子类别:空闲时间、社会关系、实践学习、体育锻炼、饮食习惯和情绪状态。
研究结果表明,学生们除了因无法进行实习而感到沮丧外,还觉得他们未能获得培训和职业发展所需的所有知识;因为虚拟课程缺乏实践环节,而实践环节在他们的职业生涯中非常重要,所以无法提供足够的学习效果。这在身体、社会和心理方面都产生了影响,进而影响了他们的生活质量。
