Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the coping experience of nursing students in clinical practice. Methods: In-depth interview was done with semi-structured questionnaire on 32 nursing students taking clinical practice. Data was analyzed through the grounded theory. Results: Core category of coping experience of nursing students was 'trying to be a meaningful presence' while clinical practice. Students' coping strategies were 'overcoming inexperience', 'receiving the recognition from the clinical instructors', and 'governing mind and body'. Helping components for their coping behaviors were 'support from people', 'personal experience before clinical practice', 'dynamics with partners'. Through the coping experience during clinical practice, nursing students became mature and confirmed their identities as student nurses. Conclusion: Nursing students taking clinical practice tried to be a meaningful presence.
