Abstract

 

BACKGROUND: The caring relationship is a complex phenomenon, that is considered as a fun- damental patient-centred care activity. It is a nursing skill that is neither directly visible nor measurable and can be taught to students only by referring to other equally abstract and com- plex concepts.Issues such as care, communication, counselling, narrative nursing and empathy are addressed within specific modules under the Study Plan and dedicated to the caring relationship. However doubts persist on the experience of the students about caring relationship. Objectives: The aim of the study was understand caring relationship meanings and experiences in basic nursing education.

DESIGN: A qualitative research according to the interpretative theory was conducted. Partecipants: The study involved second-year students of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN): at an University of northern Italy.


METHODS: Data were collected through narratives of actual caring relationship experiences that students had during their clinical internships.
RESULTS: The themes emerged from the accounts of 24 students were communication and the emotions related thereto. In particular, the perception of the loneliness of the patients, the characteristics associated with the ability of nurses to grasp this state and the feeling of well- being that is established in both people involved in a significant caring relationship, often based on active listening by the students.
CONCLUSIONS: This study allowed us to understand the main characteristics of the students' experiences as they develop the ability to relate in a therapeutic way.

Relazione di assistenza: una ricerca qualitativa attraverso le narrazioni degli studenti del corso di laurea in infermieristica

RIASSUNTO

INTRODUZIONE: la relazione di assistenza è un fenomeno complesso, considerato un'attivitaÌ€ fonda- mentale dell'assistenza centrata sul paziente. EÌ€ una competenza infermieristica che non è neÌ diret- tamente visibile neÌ misurabile e puoÌ€ essere insegnata agli studenti solo facendo riferimento ad altri concetti ugualmente astratti e complessi.

Questioni come cura, comunicazione, consulenza, assistenza infermieristica narrativa ed empatia sono affrontate all'interno di moduli specifici nell'ambito del Piano di studio e dedicate alla rela- zione assistenziale. Tuttavia, permangono dubbi sull'esperienza degli studenti sulla relazione assi- stenziale.

OBIETTIVO: lo scopo dello studio è stato quello di comprendere i significati delle relazioni assisten- ziale e le esperienze nell'educazione infermieristica di base.
DISEGNO: è stata condotta una ricerca qualitativa secondo la teoria interpretativa.
Partecipanti: lo studio ha coinvolto studenti del secondo anno del corso di laurea in infermieristica (BSN) presso un'Università del nord Italia.

METODI: i dati sono stati raccolti attraverso racconti di esperienze di relazioni assistenziali reali che gli studenti hanno avuto durante i loro tirocini clinici.
Risultati: i temi emersi dai resoconti di 24 studenti sono stati la comunicazione e le emozioni ad esso correlate. In particolare, la percezione della solitudine dei pazienti, le caratteristiche associate alla capacità degli infermieri di cogliere questo stato e la sensazione di benessere che si instaura in entrambe le persone coinvolte in una relazione di cura significativa, spesso basata sull'ascolto attivo degli studenti.

CONCLUSIONI: questo studio ci ha permesso di comprendere le principali caratteristiche delle espe- rienze degli studenti mentre sviluppano la capacità di relazionarsi in modo terapeutico.
Parole chiave: relazione infermiere-paziente, assistenza infermieristica, assistenza centrata sul paziente, studente di infermieristica
