Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of this descriptive study is to identify nursing students' opinions regarding the nursing process. Data of the study conducted in January 2014 on 240 students studying in the first, second and third classes of a nursing department of a university were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 17 questions in total. The data obtained as a result of the study were analyzed using numeric and percentage distribution in computer environment. It was found that 50% of the students in the study identified the nursing process as providing appropriate nursing care specific to the patient, 73.3% had difficulties in the nursing process, and 36.2% pointed the lecturer to be the source of difficulty. On the other hand, students stated that the nursing process was beneficial to students by increasing knowledge (45.8%) and to patients by preventing lack of care (58.2%). The result of this study suggests that students who find the nursing process useful for both the patient and themselves and who have difficulty in all phases of the nursing process should apply the nursing process on more cases.
