Popis: | Background Little is known about how nursing students learned psychomotor skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aims What is the lived experience of undergraduate nursing students learning psychomotor skills during the COVID-19 pandemic? Methods Using a phenomenological approach, eight undergraduate nursing students were interviewed about their experiences learning psychomotor skills during the pandemic. Results Thematic analysis revealed three main themes. “Finding My Own Way” described adapting learning styles and advocacy for learning. Sub-themes included perseverance and comradery. “Learning the Skills” described modifications to skills learning. Sub-themes included grace by professors, smaller group sizes, less practice, and “my brain is split in half,” describing the challenges of giving dual attention to COVID-19 and skills learning. “Stress of the Pandemic” described the stress of quarantine, isolation and online learning. Discussion Findings of this study may help nurse educators understand the challenges of learning skills during the pandemic. Implications are discussed. |
