    THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

    Introduction

    St. Paul University Philippines is the seat of quality

    education in nursing. In fact, among other nursing schools in

    the Philippines, the university garnered the highest score in

    the search for Center of Excellence in Nursing by the Commission

    on Higher Education last 2008. The University is consistently on

    the list of the top performing schools nationwide in the Nurse

    Licensure Examination.

    The School of Health Sciences College of Nursing

    continuously upholds the standards as center of excellence in

    nursing. The school assured that the quality of nursing practice

    is evidenced not only through academic performance but more so

    in the related learning experience (RLE) both clinical and

    community.

    Clinical experience has been the vital part of nursing

    education. According to Dunn and Burnette (1995), it is the

    avenue for the students to utilize the theories that theyve

    learned in their discussion. It prepares student nurses to be

    able of "doing" as well as "knowing" the clinical principles in

  • 8/8/2019 Sample Research(Skill Acquisition in St Paul)

    3/31

    practice. The clinical practice stimulates students to use their

    critical thinking skills for problem solving. It is where the

    student nurses enhance their knowledge in nursing concepts and

    principles as well as to develop and improve their skills and

    attitude towards rendering quality of nursing services.

    Nursing student's experiences of their clinical practice

    provide greater insight to develop an effective clinical

    teaching strategy in nursing education. The main objective of

    this study was to investigate student nurses' experience about

    their clinical practice.

    Nursing is known to be a caring profession. In fact,

    Florence Nightingale, the founder of nursing, initiated and

    developed this role utilizing environmental resources. This

    brilliant founder also instituted specialized roles in health

    care setting through the years.

    In the Philippines, nursing course is evidently enrolled

    most of the college students. And the challenge among nursing

    schools is to provide this quality education. Evidently, St.

    Paul University Philippines College of Nursing does not fail its

    students in this quality education.

    Review of Related Literature

    Nursing students need sufficient practical experience to

    qualify with the full range of skills required for effective

    practice. The study considers the variety of support to the

    criteria in determining the accuracy of the analysis.

    Ensuring that nursing students receive sufficient

    practical experience to develop the full range of skills they

    need for effective practice has become a focus in nurse

    education (DOH, 1999).

    The clinical placement experience is a significant

    learning component within the nursing curriculum. It provides

    nursing students with an opportunity to use the theory and

    skills they have learned in the classroom and laboratory

    settings (Barney).

    The rapid changed in the health care environment have

    many implications for nursing education and nursing practice.

    The rapidity of knowledge changes have resulted in knowledge

    become obsolete. Thus, nurses need to keep learning in response

    to the rapidly changing healthcare environmenr so they can keep

    abreast of expectations of patient and the health care system

    (Studdy, Nicol & ox-Hiley, 1994).

    Clinical education is a vital component in the curricula of

    pre-registration nursing courses and provides student nurses

  • 8/8/2019 Sample Research(Skill Acquisition in St Paul)

    5/31

    with the opportunity to combine cognitive, psychomotor, and

    affective domains. Various studies have suggested that not all

    practice settings are able to provide nursing students with a

    positive learning environment. In order to maximize nursing

    students' clinical learning outcomes, there is a need to examine

    the clinical learning environment. (Chan,)

    However, the literature suggests that there is a gap

    between theory and practice. It has been identified by Allmark

    and Tolly (1994). The development of practice theory, theory

    which is developed from practice, for practice, is one way of

    reducing the theory-practice gap. Rolfe (1995) suggests that by

    reconsidering the relationship between theory and practice the

    gap can be closed. He suggests facilitating reflection on the

    realities of clinical life by nursing theorists will reduce the

    theory-practice gap. The theory- practice gap is felt most

    acutely by student nurses. They find themselves torn between the

    demands of their tutor and practicing nurses in real clinical

    situations. They were faced with different real clinical

    situations and are unable to generalize from what they learnt in

    theory.

    Theoretical Framework

    Dr. Patricia Benner is well known in the nursing community

    for her work over the past 21 years with the Dreyfus model of

    skill acquisition. Recently she has written about her studies in

  • 8/8/2019 Sample Research(Skill Acquisition in St Paul)

    6/31

    nursing using the Dreyfus model, in an article entitled Using

    the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition to describe and interpret

    skill acquisition and clinical judgment in nursing practice and

    education (Benner, 2004). The Dreyfus model is developmental

    and is based on experiential learning.

    Benner writes that nursing requires both techn and

    phronesis. Techn is defined as explicit knowledge that can be

    captured from procedural or scientific knowledge. For techn,

    Benner gives the example of providing clear parameters and

    guidelines to students for determining fluid balance. At this

    stage the learner cannot rely on previous experience, so the

    student must be given safe, clear directions on how to proceed.

    For adequately teaching techn the nursing program must provide

    for specific situated learning in the clinical situation, though

    students would benefit from previous simulated experiences.

    Phronesis, on the other hand, is more complex; it is a

    reasoned practice employed by expert clinicians through

    experiential learning, where the nurse is continually improving

    her or his practice. According to Benner, the integrated, rapid

    response is the hallmark of phronesis (Benner, 2004, p. 196).

    Benner (2004, p. 197) gives a complex example of phronesis where

    the nurse made some rapid decisions when the patient developed a

    carotid hemorrhage. Phronesis is learned in the authentic

    situation with patients and feedback from experts.

  • 8/8/2019 Sample Research(Skill Acquisition in St Paul)

    7/31

    Dr. Benners stages of skill acquisition include the

    novice, or the period in the nursing program when students

    have no experiential background on which to base their approach

    or their understanding of the clinical situation; advanced

    beginner or new graduate; competent or one to two years in

    practice; proficiency, a transitional stage on the way to

    expertise; and expertise, which involves practical wisdom or

    phronesis. For the purpose of this position statement, the focus

    is on the stages of the novice and advanced beginner. In the

    novice stage the nursing instructor carefully selects patients

    that are stable and predictable. As with the earlier discussion

    of techn, Benner (2004) suggests that the novice operates from

    the perspective of inflexible, rule-governed behavior. Benner

    (2004, p. 191) states, Skills that are performed easily on a

    mannequin in a skills lab require adaptation and communication

    and reassurance skills when performed on a range of patients who

    may be calm or highly anxious. Qualified faculty provides

    coaching, feedback and reflection throughout the nursing

    education program. As graduation approaches, students are

    expected to function at the advanced beginner stage of skill

    acquisition. Newly licensed graduates, who function as advanced

    beginners, have a heightened awareness of feedback and they

    frequently experience anxiety and excessive fatigue (Benner,

    2004).

    Conceptual Framework

    Ensuring that nursing students receive sufficient

    practical experience to develop the full range of skills they

    need for effective practice has become a focus in nurse

    education (DOH, 1999).

    The hospital related learning experience is an important

    learning factoring nursing education. In the research paradigm,

    nursing students have given the opportunity to utilize the

    theory and skills they have learned in the classroom discussion

    and skills laboratory.

    The related learning experience (RLE) duties in the

    hospital will serve as a tool to enhance more the knowledge,

    develop the skills, and improve the attitude of the nursing

    students.

    Several students stated that one of their problems

    during their clinical practice is their clinical instructor.

    There are some clinical instructors who embarrass

    their students in front of the patient

    Some of the Clinical Instructors are not

    approachable

    There are Clinical Instructors who does not treat

    their students fairly

    Some of the Clinical Instructors are toxic, which

    eventually makes me anxious

  • 8/8/2019 Sample Research(Skill Acquisition in St Paul)

    22/31

    There are also some who stated that one of their

    problems was that their patients and significant others

    (SOs).

    There are patients who do not want the students to

    stay with them inside the room

    Some of the patients and SOs always ask questions

    that sometimes Im unprepared to answer.

    Some of the SOs scold the students and even to the

    CI.

    The sudden shifting of the schedule was also their

    problems during the clinical practice.

    The five-day continuous duty made me so stressed and

    always tired that eventually affected my performance in the

    area.

    They also had encountered staff nurses who are not

    approachable and annoying.

    There are staff nurses particularly at Notre Dame de

    Chartres Hospital Baguio City are demanding, not

    approachable and always angry with us.

    Some staff nurses are moody and not approachable.

    7. What are the suggestions of the students to improve the

    program of the school in the clinical practice?

  • 8/8/2019 Sample Research(Skill Acquisition in St Paul)

    23/31

    Most of the respondents suggested bringing back the

    previous schedule which is three days RLE duty every week

    to prevent the toxicity.

    They should change our schedule back to original.

    The schedule was very toxic. In fact, when the third

    day comes, I am already exhausted. Therefore, for the 4th

    and 5th day, I can no longer function well.

    Clinical instructors also have to treat the students

    fairly and become role models to them.

    The Clinical Instructors should treat the students in

    a fair manner to avoid biases.

    The Clinical Instructors should assume role model to

    their students most especially when coming in for duty,

    they should not be late.

    The Clinical Instructor should always be available at

    all times and be approachable.

    The hospital administration should allow the students

    utilize all the resources and operate the equipment

    available in the area.

    The hospital should have enough facilities to have

    better opportunity for good clinical practice.

    24/31

    Summary

    This study was aimed to investigate the clinical practice

    experience of the BSN IV students in the affiliated hospitals of

    St. Paul University Philippines.

    The researcher had designed a survey questionnaire for the

    investigation. It involves seven questions. The last two

    questions serve for qualitative study and the rest are

    quantitative study.

    After collecting the survey questionnaire, the researcher

    collated the data and tabulated them. After the process of

    tabulation, the researcher used statistical tool which is the

    frequency count and percentage as well as utilizing likert scale
