Abstract:
Objective:To understand the true feelings of nursing undergraduates about their professional cultural confidence, and to provide reference for nursing educators and managers to formulate ideological and political education programs.Methods:Totally 33 undergraduate nursing students admitted into Guangzhou Medical University in 2020 were selected by purposive sampling from November to December 2020. This study adopted the phenomenological method in qualitative research. Semi-structured group focus interviews were conducted with the nursing undergraduates, and Colaizzi's 7-step analysis was used to analyze the data and refine the themes.Results:The nursing undergraduates showed both positive and negative psychological experience towards nursing culture. Positive experience themes included recognition, acceptance and love, while negative experience themes included conflict, resistance and confusion.Conclusions:This study reveals the psychological experience of nursing undergraduates' cultural confidence in this profession. It is recommended that nursing educators and managers pay attention to and strengthen the positive experience of nursing undergraduates, and devote themselves to ameliorating their negative experience. They should provide targeted education for general culture and nursing culture, help nursing undergraduates establish a positive and stable nursing culture perception, and cultivate their confidence in nursing culture.
