SWEP’d up for the Summer: Survey of participants’ experiences of a nursing student research internship

“…[10][11][12] Numerous post-secondary nursing programs have implemented opportunities aimed at engaging students in research and improving their knowledge of the nurse's role in EBP. [2,12,13] These programs varied in their approaches and outcomes, however, all programs exposed students to research and fostered an appreciation for this domain of nursing practice. [2,12,[14][15][16][17] Many of these programs hired and paid undergraduate nursing students to work with faculty members on research projects of their interest, [2,12,16] where funding for student wages was secured from either the parent university or from government sources.…”

“…[14,16] Students worked during the academic year or summer break, and were paid either part-time or full-time. [13,14,16] Tasks completed by students in three separate research programs consisted of examining the literature pertaining to specific projects as well as data retrieval or analysis, [2,13,16] while one program specifically offered research projects within a hospital setting. [16] The findings from the hospital-based research program concluded that students involved in clinical-based research studies better understood the barriers of integrating EBP into patient care.…”

“…[1] Participation in research activities during undergraduate education is purportedly beneficial to students, as it leads to improvement in knowledge translation, critical thinking skills, and the development of more integrated scholarly identities. [2] Engaging in research courses and activities is additionally important as it exposes students to opportunities that reinforce the scientific foundation of the nursing profession. [1] This foundation leads to new knowledge generation for improved evidence-informed care and nursing practice.…”
