Abstract:

Objective To explore the adaptation process and experience of nursing students to the education model of cooperative training union between hospital and university. Methods The phenomenological research method was applied. From May to September 2021,fifteen undergraduate nursing students were interviewed in depth through purposive sampling. These students accepted the education model of cooperative training union between hospital and university from 4 medical universities. The data were analyzed by categorization and situational analysis. Results A total of 23 interviews were conducted,with a total duration of 487 minutes and a transcription of about 71,000 words. Students experienced three main stages in adapting to the new education model：the mixed happiness and sorrow stage,the maladjustment stage,and the acceptance and perceived benefit stage. Nursing students used cognitive subsystem and stabilizer subsystem coping mechanism to adapt to the "stimulus" through self-adjustment and external support,and finally adapt to the new education model. Conclusion Nursing students need a process to adapt to new education model. Positive self-adjustment and effective external support could promote students to adapt better and faster. Universities and hospitals should make full preparations to ensure students' living and meet their learning needs.
