Purpose: To describe the lived experience of nursing students when faced with clinical judgment in a nursing practicum at the hospital.
Methods: A descriptive research design was utilized. Participants were 79 students in the clinical practicum. Participant consent was obtained for ethical protection. Data were collected from August to December 2007 using a semi-structured questionnaire. Content analysis was utilized for data analysis.
Results: Two categories and 5 themes were extracted from the data for ¡¯difficult¡¯ and ¡¯easy¡¯ clinical judgments. For the student category, the two themes were ¡®knowledge¡¯ and ¡¯skill¡¯, while the three themes for the clinical education environment category were, ¡¯judgment of clinical symptoms and signs¡¯, ¡¯differences between theory and practice¡¯ and ¡¯human relationships¡¯. For coping, 2 categories and 5 themes were extracted for the difficult clinical judgment situation, while one category and one theme were found for the easy clinical judgment situation.
Conclusion: To develop students¡¯ clinical judgment, there is need to develop the method of clinical skills using simulation in clinical teaching. For future research, a study on factors affecting clinical judgment of nursing students in hospitals is needed.
