Perception on Critical Care among Nurse Student
Chapter 1. The Research Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Critical care is a sophisticated specialty designed to serve the individual and fragile heath care needs of patients and families suffering from actual or probable severe conditions. Critical care nursing entails a holistic perspective to the care of patients bringing a unique set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, as well as competencies. Critical care is not only intellectually challenging, but also emotionally draining (Alasad et al. 2). Little is presently known regarding the perceptions of student nurses’ experiences working in this demanding environment. Many university nursing programs offer
Student nurses are a valuable asset to the nursing profession as they bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to help experienced nurses, mentors and preceptors (Alasad and Ahmad 17). While existing literature has examined the competencies and skills necessary for these student nurses, few papers have examined the perceptions student nurses have working in critical care units. The present research will investigate how student nurses perceive their role in the critical care units, with special interest to the challenges or obstacles they face, the benefits they get, their attitudes towards their mentors and preceptors, and the impact of the experiences towards their career
