The COVID-19 pandemic has affected healthcare workers and medical students including the restriction of nursing students from clinical practice, which hinders the learning process. This study examined changes in nurses' perceptions concerning nursing students' clinical practice of education during the COVID-19 pandemic.A web-based questionnaire was administered to nurses from two facilities, which comprised pre- and post-pandemic teaching experiences. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and KH Coder (KH Coder 3.0, Koichi Higuchi, Tokyo, Japan) were utilized for the data analysis in this study. Among the 119 questionnaires distributed, 53 were analyzed (77.9% valid response rate). Overall, 43 (92.5%), 38 (71.7%), and 44 (83.0%) respondents perceived changes in nursing students' clinical practice, nursing students, and their own teaching practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively.Many nurses perceived reduced patient interaction and shifts in student characteristics during clinical practice. Nurses reacted to these changes by confirming students' understanding and asking more questions. The limited sample size and cross-sectional design suggest the need for further exploration of the construct's concept and model. The findings highlight the importance of supporting nursing educators in adapting their teaching methods to address COVID-19 pandemic challenges.
新冠疫情对医护人员和医学生产生了影响，包括限制护理专业学生进行临床实习，这阻碍了学习进程。本研究调查了新冠疫情期间护士对护理专业学生临床实习教育看法的变化。对来自两家机构的护士进行了一项基于网络的问卷调查，问卷涵盖了疫情前和疫情后的教学经历。本研究使用IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows 26.0版本（2019年发布；美国纽约州阿蒙克市IBM公司）和KH Coder（KH Coder 3.0，日本东京的Koichi Higuchi）进行数据分析。在分发的119份问卷中，分析了53份（有效回复率为77.9%）。总体而言，分别有43名（92.5%）、38名（71.7%）和44名（83.0%）受访者认为在新冠疫情期间护理专业学生的临床实习、护理专业学生自身以及他们自己的教学实践发生了变化。许多护士察觉到临床实习期间学生与患者的互动减少，学生特点也有所转变。护士通过确认学生的理解情况并提出更多问题来应对这些变化。样本量有限和横断面设计表明需要进一步探索该结构的概念和模型。研究结果凸显了支持护理教育工作者调整教学方法以应对新冠疫情挑战的重要性。
