Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This qualitative study aimed to explore the experience with the role adaptation of nurses performing shift work after they experienced department rotation.
Methods: The participants were 12 nurses. The data were collected through individual in-depth and focus group interviews. The transcribed interview data were analyzed based on the grounded theory method of Strauss and Corbin.
Results: Axial coding based on the paradigm model showed that the central phenomenon of shift-working nurses’ experience with role adaptation after department rotation was “Facing the unfamiliar”, and the core category was extracted as “Refreshing me with new learning”. The nurses’ role adaptation after department rotation was phased in with the use of action/interaction strategies, consisting of five phases: exploration, confrontation, struggling, integration, and expansion. The participants utilized various strategies such as “Getting ready beforehand”, “Seeking connection”, “Being humble and learning newly”, “Trusting the power of time and enduring”, and “Struggling to stand on my own feet”.
Conclusion: The in-depth understanding of the experience of shift-working nurses’ role adaptation after department rotation provides the basis for developing strategies to improve professionalism and job satisfaction through department rotation.
