Student nurses' bullying, social support and their health status during clinical practicum programmes

Abstract

Aims: This study was to explore the student nurses' bullying, social support and their health status during clinical practicum programmes and the predictors of health status among student nurses during clinical practicum programmes. Methods: A cross-sectional design with structured questionnaires was used, recruiting 200 student nurses in a 5-year junior college programme in south Taiwan. Results: The significant predictors of nursing students' health status during clinical practicum programmes were 'whether experiencing bullying situations during clinical practicum' and 'low social support'. Conclusion: In order to prevent bullying during clinical practicum, encouraging nursing students to report all the clinical practicum bullying incidents, providing counselling to nursing students and arranging clinical practicum bullying prevention courses to students were important. Moreover, providing instructors and nursing staff with teaching, communication and feedback skills might help nursing students prevent bullying incidents during clinical practicum programmes. A longitudinal study design was suggested for the future study in order to assess the cause-effect relationship of the bullying and social support on health among students during clinical practicum

Coping strategies and social support in nursing students during clinical practice: A scoping review

“…Social support was identified in seven studies (Alshahrani et al, 2018;Durgun Ozan et al, 2020;Fang et al, 2020 We used the PAGER framework (Bradbury-Jones et al, 2021) to synthetize our findings as detailed in Table 5.…”

Studies identify social support received specifically from family and friends (Alshahrani et al., 2018 ; Fang et al., 2020 ), and also from peers (Tambağ, 2021 ).…”

Studies identify social support received specifically from family and friends (Alshahrani et al., 2018 ; Fang et al., 2020 ), and also from peers (Tambağ, 2021 ). Social support is most often described as a type of coping strategy (Durgun Ozan et al., 2020 ; Lavoie‐Tremblay et al., 2022 ; Onieva‐Zafra et al., 2020 ), but is also associated with resilience (Wang et al., 2021 ) and reduced anxiety (Durgun Ozan et al., 2020 ).…”

“…In patients with breast cancer, the skeleton is the most frequent site for metastases. It is estimated that up to 75% of late-stage breast cancer patients will eventually develop bone metastases 2 . These lesions lead to various skeletal complications, including osteolysis, hypercalcemia, bone pain, pathologic fractures, and spinal cord and nerve compression syndromes 3 .…”
