Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine nursing students' perceptions of the nursing profession before and after clinical practice through metaphor. Forty first-year nursing students were included in the study. Qualitative (metaphor analysis) and quantitative research design were used. Metaphors were grouped according to four themes as a result of the analysis, and nursing students described the nursing profession using 30 different metaphors. Nurse students' perceptions of their profession changed after clinical practice. While the metaphor for the professional aspect of nursing was produced before clinical practice, the caregiver role of nursing after clinical practice came to the fore.

Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Hemşirelik Mesleğine İlişkin Metafor Algılarının Belirlenmesi: Klinik Uygulama Örneği

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelik öğrencilerinin klinik uygulama öncesi ve sonrası hemşirelik mesleğine yönelik algılarını metafor aracılığıyla belirlemektir. Çalışma kapsamına birinci sınıf 40 hemşirelik öğrencileri alındı. Nitel (metafor analizi) ve nicel araştırma deseni kullanıldı. Metaforlar, analiz sonucunda dört temaya göre gruplandırıldı ve hemşirelik öğrencileri hemşirelik mesleğini 30 farklı metafor kullanarak anlattı. Hemşire öğrencilerin mesleklerine yönelik algıları klinik uygulama sonrasında değişti. Klinik uygulama öncesi hemşireliğin profesyonel yönüne yönelik metafor üretilirken klinik uygulama sonrası hemşireliğin bakım verici rolü ön plana çıktı.
