Purpose : The purpose of the study was to understand their experiences of “pair nursing” pediatric clinical practice based on peer learning, in which they learn with a partner.
Method : We conducted group interviews with 14 nursing students and analyzed them qualitatively and descriptively.
Result : As a result, 7 categories were identified, including “The partners motivated each other to provide better nursing care to children.” “The student nurses were able to learn with their partner how to strengthen relationships with children.” “The student nurses were able to provide better care for children thanks to their partner.” “The student nurses were able to understand children from various angles through learning with their partner.” “The student nurses were able to establish better relationships with their partner as a result of pair nursing practice.” “The student nurses accepted their differences and learned to work well together.” “The students felt that objective evaluations of pair learning were a little vague.” along with 18 sub categories.
Conclusion : We can assume that nursing students were able to feel more at ease and conduct their practice of “pair nursing”. With regular monitoring between pairs of nursing children, they were able to reflect on their own practice and gain a better understanding of the children.
