Keywords

Caring; Empathy; Ostomy; Qualitative; Simulation

Abstract

Background: This qualitative study explored the lived experience of student nurses (N = 69) wearing an ostomy appliance for 48 hours in a clinical simulation experience. Method: The descriptive phenomenology by Colaizzi (1978) was used to study the question: What are the themes that emerge to describe the lived experience of an ostomate? Results: Five themes are emerged from written reflections. Conclusion: Students' retention and application of the information learned in simulation may influence clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. Insight into nursing students' transformation on caring and empathy into their practice, the art of nursing, was gleaned from this study.
