The Clinical Practice Experience of Nursing Students.

The purpose of this study is to understand the significance of clinical practice of nursing students by using a phenomenological method, and to provide a basic set of data for clinical practice and training programs for nursing students. The analysis method presented by Van Kaam for phenomenological studies were used as the basis. The number of research participants is reached when no further content comes out in interviewing, namely, repetitive statements on a phenomenon. The result was that of the total of 260 meaningful statements, 32 sub-themes and 5 themes, as well as 2 categories were determined. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, it is expected that nursing students will be able to use the experiences of the nursing practitioners and the experiences of patients who have been given medication practice. While reading repeatedly the original data that describes the nursing students' experience of clinical practice, meaningless statements were abandoned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
