Clinical training reports of 44 student nurses, having cared for leukemia in children in pediatric ward, were analyzed from the following viewpoints: the ratio of the reports about children and disease, and about nursing phenomenon and nursing process; the relations between that ratio and clinical study period; the relations of children and disease to nursing phenomenon and nursing process; and the relations between the specific characteristics of individual student and its report.
As regards children and disease, children's life histories and therapeutic plan were reported at the highest rate. In contrast, leukemia and children's characteristics were reported at the lowest rate. No change in those ratios was observed after clinical study period.
As to nursing phenomenon, the ratio depended on each student. However, as training progressed, the ratio showed a tendency to increase. About two-fifths of the reports perfectly recorded nursing process. Many of the reports with nursing phenomenon at a higher rate recorded imperfect nursing process.<br> There were no relations between the reports about children and disease and the reports about nursing phenomenon and nursing process.
