The purpose of this study was to identify clinical practice experience on child health nursing practicum
by analyzing the discussion and interview contents among professor and students using Social Network
Service(SNS).
The participants of the study were 151 nursing students in the third grade who conducted clinical practicum of child health nursing (55 students in the neonatal intensive care unit and 96 students in the pediatric ward) at 2016-2017. During the course of the clinical practice on Child Health Nursing Practicum, students opened the Kakao talk discussion room and freely posted experiences of the day when the professor did not visit the clinical practice site.
In the two weeks of the clinical practice period, the contents of the 4 day practice experience when professor did not visit were analyzed. In the case of the neonatal intensive care unit, 704 observations and 108 performance experiences were reported. In the case of pediatric wards, 505 observations and 281 performance experiences were reported.
The ratio of observation and performance experience during practice is as follows. In the case of the neonatal intensive care unit, the observation was about 6.5 times the performance and in the case of the pediatric ward, the observation was about 1.7 times the performance. The clinical practice focused on observation rather than performance. In order to expand the experience of nursing students in an observation-oriented clinical practice environment, it is necessary to develop various simulation modules for child healtn nursing.
