Description
Summary:Purpose: To focus on the physical restraints encountered by nursing students in their clinical practice and to identify from their experiences their edits of how nursing students consider and act on the questions that arise from these restraints. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using narrative analysis. Based on the kinship method, the study sample consisted of 16 prospective graduates who were about to graduate from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in March 2021. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online using an interview guide. Thematic content analysis was performed to analyze the interview data. Results: In total, 251 question-editing narratives were extracted from 16 cases, typified by 12 question-editing themes and 32 sub-themes. Conclusion: In the context of ethics, the analysis results showed a tendency toward polarized thinking in the nursing students, suggesting the need for the involvement of faculty, clinical practice supervisors, and others in "expanding the possibilities of thinking," which is necessary for ethics education.
