응급실 임상실습에 참여한 응급구조학과 학생들의 경험에 관한 근거이론 연구

Abstract

This study examines paramedic students' emergency room clinical practice experiences. For this purpose, the researcher selected nine students at the college in the G area and conducted the study using the grounded theory approach. The researcher con-ducted in-depth interviews using semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed them us-ing grounded theory. Data analysis performed open coding, axis coding, and refining theo-ry proposed by Strauss and Corbin based on grounded theory. To acquire validity and reli-ability, the researcher categorized concepts through continuous questioning, comparative analysis, identifying essential things in the data, and giving meaning to them. As a result of this study, 14 categories, 36 subcategories, and 128 concepts were derived, and the core category was establishing occupational perspective as a paramedic. Causal context and intervening conditions influenced the central phenomenon of establishing an occupa-tional perspective as a paramedic. In addition, actions/interactions showed an incessant desire for academics, exploration of vocational aptitude, and effort to adapt to the emer-gency room. Consequences appeared as a feeling of the importance of clinical practice, perspective on society, growth and development, and the future of a paramedic. This study is meaningful because it seeks to understand the paramedic students' clinical prac-tice experiences and raise social and policy interests.
