Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relations among the use of the body mechanics principle, clinical-practice fatigue, and practice satisfaction of nursing students.

Methods

Participants were 149 nursing students with clinical-practice experience from four nursing colleges in South Korea. Data were collected from May to July of 2016 using structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 22.0.

Results

The participants' scores for the use of body mechanics principle, clinical-practice fatigue, and practice satisfaction were 3.12 (out of 5), 4.61 (out of 7), and 3.58 (out of 5), respectively. The use of the body mechanics principle and clinical-practice fatigue showed a negative correlation (r =−0.379, p<0.001) while the use of the body mechanics principle and practice satisfaction showed a positive correlation (r =0.341, p<0.001). Clinical-practice fatigue and practice satisfaction showed a positive correlation (r =−0.384, p<0.001). The group of students who scored high on the use of the body mechanics principle showed significantly lower scores on clinical-practice fatigue than those who scored low on the use of the body mechanics principle (t=3.879, p<0.001) while the scores on the satisfaction of clinical practice were significantly high (t=−3.338, p<0.001).

Conclusions

This study found that nursing students' use of the body mechanics principle could reduce clinical-practice fatigue and increase practice satisfaction. It is necessary to develop and teach various body mechanics programs for nursing students.

身体力学原理的运用、临床实习疲劳与护生实习满意度

目的探讨护生使用身体力学原理与临床实习疲劳、实习满意度之间的关系。方法调查对象为来自韩国4所护理学院的具有临床实践经验的149名护生。数据收集于2016年5月至7月，采用结构化问卷。收集的数据使用PASW Statistics 22.0进行分析。结果参与者在身体力学原理运用、临床实践疲劳和实践满意度方面的得分分别为3.12(满分5分)、4.61(满分7分)和3.58(满分5分)。身体力学原理的运用与临床实践疲劳呈负相关(r = - 0.379, p < 0.001)，而身体力学原理的运用与临床实践满意度呈正相关(r =0.341, p < 0.001)。临床实践疲劳与实践满意度呈正相关(r = - 0.384, p<0.001)。运用身体力学原理得分高的组在临床实践疲劳得分显著低于运用身体力学原理得分低的组(t=3.879, p<0.001)，而在临床实践满意度得分显著高于运用身体力学原理得分低的组(t= - 3.338, p<0.001)。结论本研究发现护生运用身体力学原理可减轻临床实习疲劳，提高实习满意度。有必要为护生开发和教授各种身体力学课程。
