The present study aimed to explore the experiences of newly graduated nurses during their first year of practise. A qualitative descriptive design was employed in this study. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with newly graduated nurses to gather detailed descriptions and experiences during their transition to the workplace in the first year after graduation. Thematic analysis was utilised to identify patterns and themes in the collected data. Ethical considerations were strictly enforced throughout the study. There are two main themes: factors contributing to the integration of new nurses into the workplace and the difficulties faced by new nurses in a work environment. Within the first theme, three subthemes emerged: the positive role of trainers, the gradual handling of patients, and the benefit of pre-employment training and volunteering. The theme of difficulties faced included three subthemes: difficulty dealing with the health system and devices, fear of dealing with new patients, and difficulty applying policies and procedures in the workplace. The study provides insights into the challenges faced by newly graduated nurses and the factors that contribute to their integration into practise settings. Educational departments in hospitals' support and efficient access to policies are crucial for these nurses as they begin their early professional years.
本研究旨在探索新毕业护士在其第一年工作实践中的经历。本研究采用质性描述性设计。对新毕业护士进行了深入的半结构化访谈，以收集她们在毕业后第一年过渡到工作场所期间的详细描述和经历。采用主题分析法来识别所收集数据中的模式和主题。在整个研究过程中严格执行伦理考量。有两个主要主题：有助于新护士融入工作场所的因素以及新护士在工作环境中面临的困难。在第一个主题中，出现了三个子主题：培训师的积极作用、对患者的逐步护理以及岗前培训和志愿服务的益处。面临的困难主题包括三个子主题：应对医疗系统和设备的困难、害怕应对新患者以及在工作场所应用政策和程序的困难。该研究深入了解了新毕业护士所面临的挑战以及有助于她们融入实践环境的因素。医院的教育部门提供支持以及能有效获取政策对这些护士开始其早期职业生涯至关重要。
