Abstract
Background
Clinical placement anxiety is a common phenomenon for prelicensure nursing students, known to have various deleterious effects. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of information regarding how to manage prelicensure nursing students ‘anxiety in the mental health clinical setting.
Methods
Thirty-seven prelicensure nursing students participated in this descriptive phenomenological research study. Students completed three journal entries throughout their mental health clinical rotation, including before and after engaging in an educational intervention on anxiety-reducing strategies.
Results
Three major themes were derived from the aggregate data, including perceptions of anxiety, triggers for anxiety, and coping with anxiety.
Conclusions
The results support the need to improve curricula to adequately prepare and manage students’ anxiety, which is often present in the mental health clinical setting. More research is needed to identify strategies that help reduce clinical placement anxiety.
