The internship year marks the culmination of the nursing program across all Saudi universities, bridging theoretical learning and practical application. The significance of the internship year lies in the application of skills acquired during the preceding years of study. Understanding interns' experiences, identifying influences, and sharing their recommendations for best practices become crucial.
This study aimed to explore the experiences of internship students and address the challenges they encountered in a clinical environment.
A qualitative naturistic descriptive approach was employed, involving 20 purposively selected participants from internship students in two regions in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected in January 2023 through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and observation. A conventional content analysis approach was used for data analysis.
Four major themes were generated: 1) Transferring Shock, 2) Self-Learning, 3) Supportive Environments, and 4) Factors Facilitating Learning. Transferring Shock comprised two subthemes: feeling lost and feeling left out.
Internship students acknowledged the utility of orientation and mentorship programs in advancing the practical skills of new nurses and enhancing patient safety. The findings also indicated that those with prior preparation and robust communication skills reported a positive experience. Consequently, integrating communication courses into the nursing education curriculum could be beneficial. Establishing a supportive learning environment for nursing interns is imperative to address challenges and ensure the delivery of safe and effective patient care.
实习年标志着沙特所有大学护理课程的 culmination，它连接了理论学习和实际应用。实习年的重要性在于应用在前几年学习中获得的技能。了解实习生的经历、识别影响因素并分享他们对最佳实践的建议变得至关重要。
本研究旨在探索实习学生的经历，并解决他们在临床环境中遇到的挑战。
采用定性自然主义描述方法，从沙特阿拉伯两个地区的实习学生中 purposively 挑选了20名参与者。2023年1月通过半结构化访谈、焦点小组讨论和观察收集数据。采用传统的内容分析方法进行数据分析。
产生了四个主要主题：1）过渡冲击，2）自我学习，3）支持性环境，4）促进学习的因素。过渡冲击包括两个子主题：感到迷失和感到被忽视。
实习学生认可入职培训和导师计划在提升新护士实践技能和提高患者安全方面的作用。研究结果还表明，那些有过前期准备且具备较强沟通能力的人报告了积极的经历。因此，将沟通课程纳入护理教育课程可能会有所帮助。为护理实习生建立一个支持性的学习环境对于应对挑战并确保提供安全有效的患者护理至关重要。
