Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify changes in image of nurses of nursing students before and after their first clinical practice.
Methods: The survey was performed to 60 nursing students in one university in Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do. All participants had their first clinical practice for 8 weeks at four general hospitals in Seoul. The data were collected by questionnaires and were analyzed with frequency, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA using SPSS 19.0.
Results: After the first clinical practice, the mean score (4.05± 0.85) of the image of nurse was slightly higher than that of the image (4.03± 0.93) before the clinical practice. However, there was no statistical significance in the scores between before and after the clinical practice (t=-0.55, p=.589). In four subcategories, before the first clinical practice, professional image was the highest followed by traditional, personal, and social image in order but after the clinical practice, professional image was the highest followed by traditional, social, and personal image in the mean scores of the image of nurse.
Conclusion: The findings of the study may be a basis for expanding nursing practice and education related to image of nurse.
