During the COVID-19 pandemic, most universities closed or reduced clinical placements (CPs), limiting nursing students' opportunities to practice communication and interpersonal skills before graduating. When applied in nursing curriculums, Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) enhances students' understanding of the theoretical concepts of communication and interpersonal skills, representing a valuable educational tool when CPs are reduced, as during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive phenomenological study aims to describe the contribution of DMT in promoting third-year nursing students' relational skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thirty-four nursing students who attended a DMT workshop completed a reflective journal. Data were analysed using content analysis. Three themes emerged: struggling to care for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, lived experience of DMT, and professional identity development. The first theme illustrates the connection participants made between their experiences during the DMT workshop and the caregiving challenges imposed by the pandemic; the second theme describes how the workshop fostered emotional and physical connections among its participants; the third theme focuses on the awareness participants acquired regarding their professional role during the workshop. When CPs opportunities are limited, DMT workshops can represent an educational tool to promote interpersonal and communication skills among nursing students, facilitating their transition into the profession.
在新冠疫情期间，大多数大学关闭或减少了临床实习安排，这限制了护理专业学生在毕业前练习沟通和人际交往技能的机会。当应用于护理课程时，舞蹈动作疗法（DMT）能增强学生对沟通和人际交往技能理论概念的理解，在像新冠疫情期间临床实习安排减少时，它是一种有价值的教育工具。这项描述性现象学研究旨在描述舞蹈动作疗法在新冠疫情期间对促进三年级护理专业学生关系技能方面的贡献。参加舞蹈动作疗法工作坊的34名护理专业学生完成了一本反思日志。采用内容分析法对数据进行分析。出现了三个主题：在新冠疫情期间照顾患者的挣扎、舞蹈动作疗法的亲身经历以及职业身份发展。第一个主题说明了参与者在舞蹈动作疗法工作坊中的经历与疫情带来的护理挑战之间的联系；第二个主题描述了工作坊如何促进参与者之间的情感和身体联系；第三个主题关注参与者在工作坊期间对其职业角色的认识。当临床实习机会有限时，舞蹈动作疗法工作坊可以成为促进护理专业学生人际交往和沟通技能的教育工具，帮助他们顺利过渡到职业生涯。
