THE RELATİONSHİP BETWEEN THE NURSING STUDENTS’ FULFILLMENT OF EXPECTATIONS FROM NURSES AND CLINICAL PRACTİCE SUCCESS
Abstract
Bacground: A descriptive cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at the nursing faculty of a university in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 198 senior nursing students who completed at least one semester of internship practice.
Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between the level of meeting the expectations of nursing students from nurses in clinical practice and their clinical practice success.
Methods: Data were collected by the survey method. ''The Descriptive Information Data Collection Form'' and ''Students’ Expectations from Nurses and Their Meeting Status Survey Form'' were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and simple linear regression analysis. SPSS version 25.0 was used to evaluate the data.
Results: The most met expectation of the students from nurses was ''Helping me to improve my nursing skills'', whereas the least met expectation was ''Allocating enough time to me''. The expectation with the highest correlation between the clinical practice success score was “Motivating me during clinical practice”. The nurses' level of meeting the expectations of the students is a statistically significant predictor of the clinical practice success score and explains 13.7% of the total variance.
Conclusions: The level of meeting the expectations of nursing students from nurses can affect the clinical practice success score. The results of this study will contribute to increase the collaboration between nursing schools and hospitals.

HEMŞIRELİK ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN HEMŞİRELERDEN BEKLENTİLERİNİN KARŞILANMA DÜZEYİ İLE UYGULAMA BAŞARISI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ
Abstract
Giriş: Araştırma tanımlayıcı kesitsel tasarıma sahiptir. Araştırma Türkiye’deki bir üniversitenin hemşirelik fakültesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini en az bir dönemlik intörnlük uygulamasını tamamlamış 198 son sınıf hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturmuştur.
Amaç: (To evaluate) Hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin klinik uygulamada birlikte çalıştıkları hemşirelerden beklentilerinin karşılanma düzeyi ile uygulama başarı puanları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi.
Yöntem: Araştırma verileri anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. (using the survey method) Verilerin toplanmasına ‘Tanımlayıcı Bilgiler Veri Toplama Formu’ ve ‘Öğrencilerin Hemşirelerden Beklentileri ve Karşılanma Durumu Anket Formu’ kullanılmıştır. Veriler tanımlayıcı analizler, pearson korelasyon analizi ve basit doğrusal regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS version 25.0 kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Hemşireler tarafından öğrencilerin en fazla karşılanan beklentileri ‘Hemşirelik becerilerimi geliştirmem için yardımcı olması (4.51±0.81)’, en az karşılanan beklentileri ise ‘Bana yeterli zaman ayırması (4.54±0.71)’ olarak belirlenmiştir. Karşılanma düzeyi ile uygulama başarı puanı arasında en yüksek korelasyona sahip beklenti ‘Uygulama süresince beni motive etmesi (r=0.437)’ olarak belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin öğrencilerin beklentilerini karşılama düzeyi uygulama başarı notunun istatistiksel anlamlı bir yordayıcısıdır ve başarı puanına ait toplam varyansın %13.7’sini açıklamaktadır.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin hemşirelerden beklentilerinin karşılanma düzeyi uygulama başarı puanı üzerinde etki oluşturabilmektedir. Araştırma sonuçları hemşirelik okulları ile hastaneler arasındaki ilişkinin artırılmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
