Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Unlike traditional quantitative study, this qualitative study is designed to understand andexplore the experiences of nursing students's communication in clinical nursing practicum.METHODS: Participants were 15 nursing students from a university in Seoul who were selected by purposive sampling. They had been participated in clinical nursing practicum more than one semester. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observation from May 29, 2017 to June 8, 2017. Collected data were analyzed by Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology.RESULTS: As a result, 5 theme clusters were derived as follows: 1) the modeling of communication, 2) treatment as a student nurse, 3) respect as a nurse, 4) trauma after communication, and 5) sympathy in communication. This study identified the desire for nursing professionalism, psychological difficulties as negative emotionality, as well as positive emotionality of nursing students in clinical practicum.CONCLUSION: We should consider a nursing curriculum to prepare and improve the communication of nursing students before participating in clinical practicum.
