The process of learning and professional development according to nursing students' experience during Covid-19: A constructivist grounded theory study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study explored the experiences of nursing students with respect to learning processes and professional development during internships with COVID-19 patients to build a novel theoretical model.

Background

The COVID-19 outbreak had a profound impact on the worldwide learning system and it interrupted the internship experiences of nursing students. After the second wave of COVID-19, to balance academic activities with COVID-19 containment, some Italian universities allowed nursing students' internships in COVID-19 units. This new experience may have influenced nursing students' learning processes and professional development, but this is yet to be investigated.

Design

A qualitative study using a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) approach.
