Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study aims to explore the students’ experiences of taking class in nursing philosophy at the graduate school of nursing.
Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 18 participants who took nursing philosophy class. Core question was 'What is your experience of taking nursing philosophy class?' Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using content analysis.
Results: Qualitative data analysis revealed nine theme clusters in four categories; 'The distance from philosophy that is too far to be friendly’, ‘Finding the academic roots of nursing',’The way to find answers through creative insights' and ‘Presenting a vision of nursing through reflection and maturity'.
Conclusion: Nursing graduate students initially encountered challenging thoughts and a sense of detachment from reality when they embarked on their nursing philosophy class. However, nursing philosophy classes are essential for uncovering the academic foundations of nursing science, fostering creative insights, and navigating the actual clinical fields. This is particularly crucial because nurses frequently encounter numerous ethical dilemmas and critical decision-making situations. Nursing philosophy classes should be mandated as a required course for nursing graduate students, as they are responsible for shaping the future of nursing scholars.
