Abstract:
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to describe the meaning of incivility experienced by nursing students in relations with nurses during clinical practice.
Methods:This is a descriptive qualitative study that included thirty participants using convenience sampling in universities in S, J, Ch, and C provinces. Data saturation was achieved and methodological rigor was established. Qualitative content analysis was used to inductively determine categories.
Results:The four categories derived from analysis were ‘left alone at clinical field’, ‘treated as an assistant’, ‘not respected as a person’ and ‘ignored future dreams’.
Conclusions:Nursing students continue to carry out repetitive, low-risk tasks, for which they are not properly trained due to the lack of practical guidance in clinical practice. During clinical practice, they are not respected as persons by nurses and are negatively influenced by nurse professionals. A solution to this requires organic cooperation and policy preparation at universities and hospital sites to improve practical training of nursing students.
