Abstract

In this paper, we have explored the experience of studying part-time nursing master degree students and provided a basis for improving the training of domestic part-time nursing master degree students. Using phenomenological research methods, we have conducted face-to-face and semistructured interviews with 14 part-time nursing graduate students, including postgraduate motivation, obstacles, gains, and expectations after postgraduate study. Part-time nursing master's graduate students are mostly motivated by promotion, self-improvement, solving clinical problems, and role models; barriers to entry include role conflicts, time pressure, economic pressure, curriculum settings that cannot meet needs, unclear responsibilities for training process management, and personal value (cannot reflect, etc.). Study gains include enhancing scientific research confidence, stimulating learning interest, and increasing professional identity. In the training of part-time nursing master's students, we should correctly guide students' learning motivation, mobilize social support, and solve students' learning obstacles. The curriculum of part-time nursing master's students should be targeted, along with establishing a training management system jointly directed by the training unit and the employer, improving the career planning of nursing master's students, and making a good connection with the training of senior practical nurses.
