Industrial practice in nursing through the eyes of students of the 3rd year of the medical university

Abstract

Despite studying in the conditions of a full-scale war, teachers of the department of propaedeutics of internal medicine, employees of the educational department and management of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsia are trying to improve the conditions for industrial practice in nursing, students' mastery of the necessary practical skills. Students had a choice of form of industrial practice. In order to improve the implementation of industrial practice, the students' assessment of the organization of industrial practice in nursing, the degree of mastery of practical skills, based on the results of an anonymous questionnaire, was analyzed. In the opinion of 89.7% of students who worked on the basis of the department of propaedeutics of internal medicine, the materials posted on the site are sufficient for mastering the necessary practical skills. The majority of students (75.9%) who worked in departments with medical centers have a similar opinion. We did not determine a significant difference between the number of practical skills that cause difficulties. The majority of students (96%) are satisfied with the content and volume of the step-by-step instructions created by the department's employees, and had enough time to familiarize themselves with them, and used them in the simulation class to practice practical skills. Students' self-assessment of the performance of practical skills differs after taking a differential assessment depending on the form of industrial practice. Self-assessment shows that students are aware of the disadvantages and advantages of working without prior practice of practical skills in a simulation class, but in our opinion it is overstated. Communicative relations between teacher and student, student and student, student and medical workers, student and patient are extremely important. Lack of communication leads to reluctance and fear of performing practical skills. The education of a student of a medical university should be primarily aimed at determining the vital indicators for assessing the patient's general condition, preliminary syndromic diagnosis followed by drawing up a plan and performing diagnostic procedures, providing emergency medical care.
