Change in the Nursing Professionalism, Role Conflict and Job Satisfaction of the Nursing Students before and after their first Clinical Experience

Abstract

This study was attempted to provide nurse students with basic materials to improve their clinical practices, and to investigate changes in their views on Nursing Professionalism, Job satisfaction, and role conflicts. After experiencing clinical practices, their nursing professionalism(t=-2.184, p=.031) and job satisfaction (t=-2.068, p>.001) increased but role conflict (t=-3.729, p>.001) increased as well. They were satisfied with their jobs, building up nursing professionalism through clinical practices. However, they had also acquired time on thinking about their future jobs more deeply than before practices and realizing their roles in real sense. In particular, they felt stress in some of subcategories, personal inner conflicts (t=-3.729, p>.001), role obscurity (t=-5.720, p>.001) so it is necessary to review standards on their job and task in nurse education and clinical practices.

Exploring the relationships among art therapy students’ burnout, practicum stress, and teacher support

“…While previous studies have identified role conflict as the most important contributor to job stress ( Park and Yoon, 2011 ; Park and Hang, 2017 ), it was not associated with burnout among art therapy students in our study. Presumably, this discrepancy is a result of their different professional status.…”
