Résumé
Contexte et problématique : Dans l’environnement d’apprentissage clinique (EAC), il existe des composantes qui influencent l’apprentissage expérientiel des personnes étudiantes en sciences infirmières, y compris la dynamique de groupe dans une modalité de stage en groupe. À ce jour, les écrits scientifiques ne nous permettent pas de comprendre l’influence de cette composante dans la formation clinique, ce qui nuit à l’établissement de conditions optimales pour l’apprentissage des stagiaires. Le but était d’explorer la dynamique de groupe entre les stagiaires, en tant que composante de l’EAC dans le cadre de cette modalité de stage en sciences infirmières.
Objectifs : 1) décrire la dynamique de groupe en lien avec l’apprentissage selon les écrits et selon le point de vue de stagiaires, de superviseures de stage et d'infirmières des unités de soins, 2) adapter l’instrument de mesure « Évaluation de l’environnement d’apprentissage clinique » (EEAC) pour y ajouter la notion de la dynamique de groupe, 3) explorer les composantes de l’EAC, incluant la dynamique de groupe, chez des stagiaires du baccalauréat en sciences infirmières dans une université francophone au Nouveau-Brunswick, et 4) explorer les liens entre la dynamique de groupe et les autres composantes de l’EAC reconnues dans les écrits.
Méthode : Nous avons utilisé un devis mixte séquentiel exploratoire. Phase 1 : Examen de la portée suivi d’une approche descriptive interprétative. Phase 2 : Adaptation de l’instrument EEAC. Phase 3 : Étude descriptive transversale.
Résultats : Certaines caractéristiques des stagiaires de même que divers facteurs leur occasionnant du stress influent sur la dynamique et l’expérience d'apprentissage. Le soutien de la part des stagiaires du groupe avantage les relations interpersonnelles entre les membres ainsi que l’expérience d’apprentissage. Bénéficier du soutien de la part du personnel infirmier favorise la dynamique de groupe et l’expérience d’apprentissage des stagiaires. L’encadrement par la personne superviseure explique le plus la dynamique de groupe.
Conclusion : Après avoir reconnu l’importance cruciale de la dynamique de groupe comme une composante d’influence dans l’EAC, les personnes impliquées dans la formation des stagiaires en sciences infirmières disposent désormais de résultats concluants. Ces informations leur permettent d’apporter une contribution significative à la création d’un environnement d’apprentissage propice pour les stagiaires.
Abstract
Context and Problem Statement: In the clinical learning environment (CLE), various components influence the experiential learning of nursing students, including group dynamics in a group practicum modality. To date, the scientific literature does not fully explore the impact of this component in clinical education, hindering the establishment of optimal conditions for student learning. The purpose of this study was to explore group dynamics among nursing students as a component of the CLE within the group practicum modality.
Objectives: 1) To describe group dynamics in relation to learning based on existing literature and from the perspective of nursing students, clinical supervisors, and nursing staff, 2) to adapt the Évaluation de l’environnement d’apprentissage clinique (EEAC) instrument to include the concept of group dynamics, 3) to explore the components of CLE, including group dynamics, among baccalaureate nursing students at a francophone university in New Brunswick, and 4) to explore the links between group dynamics and other components in the CLE recognized in the literature.
Methodology: We used a mixed sequential exploratory design. Phase 1: Scoping review followed by a descriptive interpretive approach. Phase 2: Adaptation of the EEAC instrument. Phase 3: Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Results: Several student characteristics and stress-related factors influence group dynamics and the learning experience. Peer support enhances interpersonal relationships among group members and contributes to the learning experience. Support from nursing staff positively impacts group dynamics and student learning experiences. Additionally, supervision by clinical instructors significantly explains group dynamics.
Conclusion: Recognizing the crucial role of group dynamics as an influential component in the CLE, parties involved in nursing student education now have conclusive results. This information enables them to make significant contributions to creating an optimal learning environment for students.
