Abstract

Background: 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.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of internship students and address the challenges they encountered in a clinical environment.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: 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.

实习学生在临床环境中表现好吗?一项定性自然科学研究。
背景:实习年是沙特所有大学护理专业的顶点,是理论学习和实际应用的桥梁。实习年的意义在于应用前几年所学的技能。了解实习生的经验、找出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验,解决他们在临床环境中遇到的挑战:采用自然描述性定性方法,有目的地从沙特阿拉伯两个地区的实习学生中选出 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了数据。数据分析采用了传统的内容分析法:结果:产生了四大主题:1) 转学冲击;2) 自我学习;3) 支持性环境;4) 促进学习的因素。转移冲击包括两个次主题:迷失感和被遗弃感:实习学生承认指导和导师计划在提高新护士的实践技能和加强患者安全方面的作用。研究结果还表明,那些事先有所准备并具备良好沟通技巧的学生在实习过程中获得了积极的体验。因此,将沟通课程纳入护理教育课程可能是有益的。为护理实习生建立一个支持性的学习环境对于应对挑战和确保提供安全有效的患者护理至关重要。
