Description

<p>This study aims to understand the relationship between the anxiety of nursing students towards a specific field nursing practicum and their awareness of the experience of the basic nursing practicum.</p><p>A survey was conducted with 436 nursing students from five vocational nursing schools all using the same curriculum, before the commencement of specific field nursing training from June to July of 2016. To measure the anxiety of nursing students towards the specific field nursing practicum, we conducted a cross-sectional study using an anonymous self-rating questionnaire which includes the Kagoshima University version of the Clinical Stress Questionnaire (CSQ) with 17 items in 3 factors (threat, challenge, and harmful emotions).</p><p>The questionnaire was distributed to 436 nursing students, and 334 responses were collected (76.6%). Of these 321 were determined valid (73.6%). A multiple regression analysis was performed using the three factors of the CSQ as objective variables. The results show the value of the adjusted R-squared (R2) in this study as 0.429 for threat. The explanatory variable with the highest contribution was “Anxiety towards the future performance of nursing in the specific field nursing training”. For the challenge factor, the R2 was 0.394, and the highest contributing explanatory variable was “I like nursing”. For the harmful emotion factor, the R2 was 0.431, and the highest contributing explanatory variable was “I do not like nursing”.</p><p>The results of the multiple regression analysis suggested that the anxiety of nursing students towards the specific field nursing practicum may be related to their awareness of the experience in the basic nursing practicum, such as “Inadequate volumes of assignments during the basic nursing practicum”, “Having a difficult time due to mistakes made during the basic nursing practicum”, “Dissatisfied with the achievement of the basic nursing practicum”, and “Having an unfavorable relationship with other group members”.</p><p>The findings suggest that the awareness of the experience in the basic nursing practicum : the anxiety towards the performance of the nursing, being poor at communication, and not really wanting to provide the nursing are related to the anxiety towards specific field nursing practicum. This suggests that it would be possible to reduce the anxiety towards the specific field nursing practicum by providing support for nursing students according to their achievement in the basic nursing practicum.</p>
