Respiratory care students provided professional treatment for patients in critical care unit clinical practice, and students always felt stressful. This study aimed to explore the changes of the stress and sleep quality in critical care unit clinical practice among college respiratory care students. Methods: A longitudinal study of a convenient sample of 58 participants was conducted in 2014. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on the practicum-related stress and sleep quality. Repeated measures ANOVA, Pearson product moment correlation and LSD post-comparison were used to analyze the data. Results: Results showed that average score of practicum-related stress among participants before clinical practice (2.26) was significantly higher than during (1.79) and after clinical practice (1.88). There was different major practicum-related stressor in three phases: before, during, and after clinical practice. Homework/workload was the major practicum-related stressor before clinical practice. However, insufficient professional knowledge and skills was the major practicum-related stressor both during and after clinical practice. The poor sleep quality was 62.1% (before clinical practice), 60.3% (during clinical practice) and 56.9% (after clinical practice). Practicum-related stress significantly correlated with sleep quality during and after clinical practicum. Conclusions:There was different level of practicum-related stress, stressor and sleep quality in different phases of clinical practice. |
