OBJECTIVE
To explore the experiences and feelings of undergraduate nursing students during their 4-month clinical placement through the lens of service learning theory.
METHODS
A semi-structured questionnaire survey was conducted on 233 undergraduate nursing students who had completed their internships, and the content of the questionnaire was analyzed according to the rootedness theory using Nvivo 12.0 software.
RESULTS
The interns thought that internship could appreciate the insufficiency of their knowledge and ability, and through the tutoring teachers’ counseling and their self-study could be of obvious help to the consolidation of knowledge and skills, especially to the enhancement of communication and collaboration ability, clinical practice ability, and professional and related knowledge; humanistic care and nurse-patient relationship in the internship process were the main factors for the development of emotion, and successful humanistic care could enhance the nurse-patient relationship, and the failed operation and ineffective communication can also experience verbal violence; internship experience can form professional confusion and professional identity.
CONCLUSION
The use of learning and reflection promotes clinical nursing competence; both humanistic care competence and timely care for interns should be assessed, and career counseling promotes the formation of professional identity.
