This study is attempted for the purpose of clearly understanding the stressors which emergency medical technology students experience during clinical practice, giving guidance in desirable direction and improvement of clinical practice, and giving the basic materials so that emergency medical technology students may practice effectively.
The design of this study was a descriptive survey. The subjects in this study were 59 emergency medical technology students who were 2nd grade in D college. The collection of questionnaires took 3 days from September 1, 1999 to September 3, 1999. This researcher explained the purpose of this study to students, after they agreed to this survey, the researcher gave the questionnaire to them had them answer the questions and collected the questionnaire immediately.
Data analysis included percentage, mean and standard deviation. t-test and ANOVA trough SPSS computer program.
The results of this study are, briefly, as follows;
1. In ´satisfaction-degree to specializing in the science of emergency medical technology´ 27.1% of the subjects is revealed as ´satisfied´ and in ´satisfaction-degree of clinical practice´, 8.5% of the subjects is revealed as ´satisfied´
2. Viewed from each of the categories of stressors which emergency medical technology students experience during clinical practice, ´ideals and values´ is the category in which emergency medical technology students experience most severe stress at a mean 3.25 and ´personal relations´ is the category in which emergency medical technology students experience mildest stress at a mean 2.82.
The total stress degree mean is 3.06, which emergency medical technology students experience during clinical practice is revealed as ´moderate´ stress.
3. Considering the stressor involved in each category, the results are as follows;
(1) In ´environment´, ´orientation to the hospital before clinical practice´ is revealed as the most severe stressor at a menu 3.44.
(2) In ´personal relations´, ´relations with doctor and nurse´ is revealed as the most severe stressor at a mean 3.59.
(3) In ´role´, ´unilaterally when their role is seems to be obscure´ is revealed as the most severe stressor at a mean 4.10.
(4) In ´ideals and values´, ´difference between college practice and hospital practice´ is revealed as the most severe stressor at a mean 3.88.
(5) In ´activity´, ´repetition of simple and functional work during clinical practice´ is revealed as the most severe stressor at a mean3.98.
(6) In ´total stress factors´, ´unilaterally when their role is seems to be obscure´ is revealed as the most severe stress factor at a mean 4.10 and ´relations with comrade students´ is revealed as the stress factor causing mildest stress at a mean 2.20.
4. Considering the relationship between the categories of stressors and the general characteristics, the results are as follows;
(1) ´Environment´ is revealed as being positively correlated with ´satisfaction degree of clinical practice´(F=3.53, p= .0359).
(2) ´Ideals and values´ is revealed as being correlated with ´sex´(t=-2.31, p= .0240) and ´satisfaction degree of clinical practice´ (F=3.31, p= .0438).
