Aim. The aim of this paper is to report a study exploring, from the perspective of key stakeholders (mentors of nurses, managers of nurses, and modern matrons) in one English acute sector hospital, how decisions are made on how many learner nurses can be supported in clinical practice. The objective was to identify what factors are taken into consideration in making these decisions. Background. Supporting increasing numbers of students is a demand of current service provision in the English National Health Service, as part of an expansion in the numbers of all healthcare professionals. This is particularly the case in nursing, where the government announced a required increase in numbers of qualified nurses of 20 000. This expansion of numbers has implications for the quality of placement learning in clinical placements. Methods. Data were collected using three focus group interviews with a total of 12 participants in 2003/04. Recruitment was on a purposive basis. Subsequent analysis identified themes, which were compared across groups. A short questionnaire was also used to establish participants’ biographical details prior to the focus groups. Findings. Three key themes were identified: ‘capacity issues’, ‘enhancing support in practice’ and ‘issues impacting on learning in practice’. ‘Capacity issues’ identified factors that impact on the capacity of placements to support learners. ‘Enhancing support in practice’ identified necessary roles and strategies to enhance learning in practice. Finally, ‘issues impacting on learning in practice’ identified learner groups where support could be enhanced through structured management of the placement experience. Conclusions. Decisions on learner numbers to be supported at any one time are complex, with a multitude of dimensions. These include identification of types of learners and numbers of mentors available to support them and other operational issues. ‘Educational staff’ are needed at operational and strategic levels to support learning in practice. Timely and appropriate audit information to support allocation decisions and identify strategies to enhance the quality and support of learning in practice, are also required. Relevance to clinical practice. Increases in learner numbers and National Health Service modernization have had an impact on clinical placements’ capacity to support learning, and potentially, on learners’ achievements in practice. Findings from this study are thus important in evaluating the impact of these policy initiatives. 相似文献

GILLETT K . Nursing Inquiry 2010; 17 : 197–207 From ‘part of ’ to ‘partnership’: the changing relationship between nurse education and the National Health Service Worldwide, many countries have moved towards incorporating nurse education into the higher education sector and this inevitably has implications for the relationship between nurse education providers and local health service providers. This study explores the changes to the relationship in the UK between nurse education providers and the UK National Health Service over the past 20 years and demonstrates how two political ideologies have been central to those changes. The two ideologies of interest are the introduction of internal markets to the National Health Service by the Conservative government at the end of the 1980s and the New Labour response to the fragmentation of public services caused by Conservative neoliberal policy, which was to introduce the notion of ‘partnership working’. This study reviews the wider debate around partnership policy and applies that debate to evaluate the way that nurse education providers and the National Health Service are working in partnership to provide clinical practice placements for nursing students. 相似文献

Nurses play a crucial role in mental healthcare provision. Like many countries, Australian nursing students are educated in comprehensive pre‐registration programmes which include mental health clinical placements. Placements play a vital role in students’ education, providing the opportunity to engage with consumers and develop mental health nursing knowledge and skills. There is limited knowledge of student perspectives on traditional placements in contemporary recovery‐oriented mental health services. This interpretive qualitative inquiry aimed to explore nursing students’ experience of traditional mental health clinical placement and how it influenced their practice and their understandings of recovery from mental illness. Data were collected from focus groups with n = 31 nursing students in a large metropolitan public mental health service. Thematic analysis resulted in three themes of experience: humanizing people with mental illness; learning about recovery; and shifting perspectives on mental health nursing. Through a positive placement experience where they felt supported and included by staff, students came to see consumers as people rather than diagnoses, developed greater understanding of mental health nursing work and were more likely to consider mental health nursing as a career choice. Peer‐support workers were an important influence on students’ understandings of recovery and have a key role to play in educating students on placement. Students need to be prepared and supported by university and clinical staff to deal with vicarious trauma that may occur on placement. Mental health placements play a crucial role in attracting students into the field, and it is imperative they remain part of comprehensive pre‐registration education. 相似文献

AIM OF THE STUDY: To ascertain the views held by some Irish general nurse managers of the Diploma in Nursing students' first clinical allocation. RATIONALE: Until 1994, nurses in Ireland were trained under a 3-year apprenticeship system and were employed throughout their clinical experience. In March 1997, the first intake of Diploma in Nursing students into one Dublin university were scheduled to commence their clinical placements. As this was the first time that supernumerary students were to be placed in the clinical areas, it was important to discover how effective the whole process was in terms of nurse managers' experiences. RESEARCH METHODS: A grounded-theory approach, using unstructured interviews, explored Irish nurse managers' views of the impact of supernumerary students in the workplace. Ethical approval was granted. All available nurse managers in three general teaching hospitals linked with the university agreed to take part (n = 10). RESULTS: Three themes emerged from the data, entitled 'Structure', 'Students' and 'Support'. In general, the managers believed that staff had had sufficient preparation for this change and that the whole process had been well handled. The respondents were pleasantly surprised by the students' abilities and interest in nursing. Minor problems were dealt with successfully at the local level and the support received by the students was found to be excellent. DISCUSSION: Preconceptions of the students as more intellectual and less able for practical nursing were found to be untenable. The students' presence was welcomed and their questioning attitude, enthusiasm and application of knowledge was praised. Strong clinical support was required and students benefited from giving care, rather than just observing care given. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that supernumerary students should be encouraged to give full care under supervision, in order to learn and to become proficient in all clinical skills. The next phase of change, transition to degree status for students from 2002, will benefit from lessons learned in the past 7 years since transition from certificate to diploma education. 相似文献

Despite growing awareness of the benefits of interprofessional education and interprofessional collaboration (IPC), understanding how teams successfully transition to IPC is limited. Student exposure to interprofessional teams fosters the learners’ integration and application of classroom-based interprofessional theory to practice. A further benefit might be reinforcing the value of IPC to members of the mentoring team and strengthening their IPC. The research question for this study was: Does training in IPC and clinical team facilitation and mentorship of pre-licensure learners during interprofessional clinical placements improve the mentoring teams’ collaborative working relationships compared to control teams? Statistical analyses included repeated time analysis multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Teams on four clinical units participated in the project. Impact on intervention teams pre- versus post-interprofessional clinical placement was modest with only the Cost of Team score of the Attitudes Towards Healthcare Team Scale improving relative to controls (p = 0.059) although reflective evaluations by intervention team members noted many perceived benefits of interprofessional clinical placements. The significantly higher group scores for control teams (geriatric and palliative care) on three of four subscales of the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale underscore our need to better understand the unique features within geriatric and palliative care settings that foster superior IPC and to recognise that the transition to IPC likely requires a more diverse intervention than the interprofessional clinical placement experience implemented in this study. More recently, it is encouraging to see the development of innovative tools that use an evidence-based, multi-dimensional approach to support teams in their transition to IPC. 相似文献

Aim: The purposes of this study were to identify specific components and frequencies of ethical issues that home‐visiting nurses encountered in their practice, relationships between ethical issues and demographic data, and experience of ethics education and workplace environment. Methods: A self‐administered questionnaire was distributed to home‐visiting nurses in Japan. Usable data (1961) were analyzed. Results: Item and exploratory factor analysis for the frequency of encountering ethical issues revealed: (i) concern about respecting client or relationships with relevant professionals; (ii) differences in treatment or care‐taking views among home‐visiting nurse and client and family, or relevant professionals; and (iii) discrepancy of intention between family and client or home‐visiting nurse. All factors were significantly positively related to the current position, duration of working experience as a home‐visiting nurse, and type of nursing education; age was significantly negatively related. Home‐visiting nurses noted that programmed continuing education systems and staff‐training programs were not sufficiently available. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated the characteristics of ethical issues that home‐visiting nurses encountered in their practice and insufficient continuing education system including ethics education. Ethics education programs tailored to home‐visiting nurses ethical concerns and traits and continuing education systems are needed. 相似文献

This paper reports the findings of a study that sought to gain insight into the experiences of third year nursing students who participated in a 4-week clinical placement in an international setting. This study is different from many studies describing international placements for undergraduate nursing students as it concentrates on clinical experiences on placement. Students' reflective journals and face-to-face discussions were used to collect data, which were analysed by thematic content analysis. Categories were identified describing a focus on micro clinical-based issues that expanded over time to a focus on broader issues reflecting the "nursing culture" of the placement. Students described both positive and negative aspects of being placed in an international clinical setting, with the concept of "being different" emerging. Whilst the findings cannot be generalized beyond the sample, the study highlights the importance of adequate preparation and support for students on international clinical placements, with emphasis on attention to clinical detail. 相似文献

Undertaking a mental health clinical placement can be anxiety‐provoking for nursing students at times. There is a need to adequately prepare undergraduate nursing students for clinical placement in a mental health setting in relation to their skills and confidence. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a mental health simulation workshop on the skills and confidence of nursing students in providing care to consumers living with a mental illness. The study also evaluated the design of the mental health simulation workshop from an educational perspective. A pre/post‐test survey was administered to a cohort of N = 89 Australian pre‐registration nursing students. Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors: Mental health therapeutic engagement, mental health assessment skills, and mental health placement preparedness. Analyses of pre–post differences indicated that all three factors were significantly different between the initial and follow‐up responses, with follow‐up responses being more favourable. The findings of this study demonstrate that there is value in including mental health simulated patient exercise as part of the learning strategies in the curriculum of pre‐registration nurses. This has implications for the quality of care in the clinical environment and level of preparedness of these students’ nurses for mental health clinical placement where they will be providing care to consumers living with a mental illness under direct supervision. 相似文献
