Nursing students' practice experiences in the intensive care unit will greatly influence their acquisition of professional skills and the development of their future nursing roles.
This study aimed to determine nursing students' first clinical practice experiences in the intensive care unit.
The type of research is qualitative research. The study data were collected from 14 students who were doing clinical practice in the anaesthesia intensive care unit of a university hospital. Face-to-face individual interviews were conducted with each student. A semi-structured interview guide was used in the interviews. Data were analysed with MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2020. This study adhered to the COREQ checklist for reporting.
Four main themes were reached: 'First Emotions in the Intensive Care Unit', 'Experiences Related to the Perception of Profession', 'Experiences Related to Patient Care' and 'Experiences Related to Personal Development'. It was determined that the most prominent feelings in these clinical practice experiences of the students were fear in patient care, satisfaction and professional image in professional acquisition, and making life more meaningful in their perspective on life.
Students evaluated the intensive care clinical practice as beneficial in terms of professional and personal development. It is recommended that an orientation program be organized for students before intensive care clinical practice.
Qualified critical care nurses of the future are a product of a qualified nursing clinical education today.
护理专业学生在重症监护病房的实践经历将极大地影响他们专业技能的获得以及未来护理角色的发展。
本研究旨在确定护理专业学生在重症监护病房的首次临床实践经历。
研究类型为定性研究。研究数据收集自14名在某大学医院麻醉重症监护病房进行临床实践的学生。对每位学生进行了面对面的个人访谈。访谈中使用了半结构化访谈指南。数据采用MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2020进行分析。本研究遵循COREQ报告清单。
得出了四个主要主题：“重症监护病房的初次感受”、“与职业认知相关的经历”、“与患者护理相关的经历”以及“与个人发展相关的经历”。经确定，学生们在这些临床实践经历中最突出的感受是在患者护理方面的恐惧、在职业获得方面的满足感和职业形象，以及从他们对生活的看法来看让生活更有意义。
学生们认为重症监护临床实践在专业和个人发展方面是有益的。建议在重症监护临床实践前为学生组织一个入职培训项目。
未来合格的重症护理护士是当今合格的护理临床教育的产物。
