Learning feedback diary: a reflective experience in a student nurse's clinical experience
Jose Mari Louis G. Alforque1.
The objective of the study is to understand the lived experiences of nursing students in selected clinical area
through the Learning Feedback Diary. This research has utilized the qualitative research method of
phenomenology to allow for an exploration of the student nurse's reflective interpretation of their clinical
experience. The purpose of a phenomenological approach is to illuminate the specifics of a phenomenon to
identify phenomena through how they are perceived by the actors in a situation. There were 26 participants
who consisted all of which are 1.) Bona fide nursing student who is currently enrolled in the College of
Nursing of Cebu Normal University; and 2.) Alevel 2 nursing student who is about to be exposed in the
Delivery Room. Respective journal entries were gathered, and transcribed responses are then analyzed
using Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenological method of data analysis. Three major themes emerged: (1)
Limitations in Learning, with one subtheme, Emotional Circumstances heightened with Stress; (2)
Facilitating Learning, with two subthemes, Established Functions and Responsibilities heightened with
Organized Coordination and Effective Learning heightened with Good Mentors, and (3) Developing
Learning, with three subthemes, Enhanced Group Cohesion heightened with Selfless Acts of Kindness,
Eagerness to learn heightened with Social and Environmental Keenness, and Earnest Respect heightened
with Patient Interaction. It is discovered that there is an “LFD” phenomenon experienced by student nurses
in their first clinical area. An increased understanding of the lived experiences from these students' points
of view can develop a wider understanding of their perceived experiences, which would be of good help to
nurse educators supervising students in the clinical area as they are able to understand their students more,
as to their concerns or experiences in the clinical area that were able to be expressed verbally.
