dc.description.abstract | Background The Covid 19 (C19) pandemic led to social distancing and academic institutes moved to online delivery with changes made to practice placements. Student Nurses (SNs) faced unique challenges due to these changes and the full impact is still unknown. Sample and Setting Five SNs from one North West England university. Data Collection and Analysis Semi structured interviews were transcribed and analysed using the IPA approach. Findings Four Group Experiential Themes were created. The SNs perceived that they had experienced an Impoverished programme, isolation, fear, and financial hardship. Conclusion Although the full impact of the C19 pandemic is not yet known, the results of this study demonstrate gaps in practice, in both the practical and theoretical components. Although further research is necessary, the SNs did offer solutions to the issues they experienced. Recommendations Training in pandemic preparedness for academics, students and practice partners; mandatory digital training for students and academics; experience of online blended learning; a buddy system and small study groups to be created; extra curricula fun activities, specifically for SNs; mandatory mental health and motivational interviewing training for academics and students, with an exploration of how this can be delivered to practice partners; raising awareness of funding and lobbying for funding for exceptional circumstances. | en_US |
