Survey responses of educators in charge of surgical-nursing practicums at nursing-education institutions: Reasons for the necessity of surgical-nursing practicums as part of basic nursing education, and areas for improvement in these practicums
This study attempted to elucidate the reasons for the necessity of surgical-nursing practicums, as well as issues they still face, from a survey of nurse educators. The respondents were 292 nurse educators in charge of surgicalnursing practicums at their nursing-education institution in Japan. 95.5% emphasized the need for these practicums in student training, and their responses – about the need for practicums, and areas for improvement – were analyzed using a qualitative synthesis (KJ) method.
Reasons for the necessity of practicums included allowing students to better understand: the surgical treatment setting and surroundings; the physical invasiveness of the surgery (difficult to grasp through class study); the patients’ psychological condition through student-patient interactions; the importance of medical-team cooperation in nursing practice; general nursing in light of its connections to surgical nursing, as well as surgical nursing itself (often poorly-understood).
With respect to the students, areas for improvement were: their insufficient infection control, their own physical condition during the practicum, and the fact that they sometimes had no more than a casual interest in surgical nursing. Other issues involved: the limited availability of suitable patients for the practicum, improving educators’ teaching ability to compensate for limited clinical experience, the ability of surgical-nursing supervisors to share their wealth of clinical experience, and mutual understanding and cooperation between educator and supervisor with respect to practicum objectives.
