The objective of this qualitative study was to explore factors related to factors affecting the success of generation Z nursing students during their first clinical placement. The key informants were undergraduate second-year nursing students at Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Chiang Mai, comprising 20 females and 4 males. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview regarding the experiences and views on clinical placements of generation Z nursing students during their first clinical placement. The data were analyzed by thematic analysis.
The results from thematic analysis showed that factors affecting the success of generation Z nursing students during their first clinical placement included three themes: 1) being hopeful and self-optimistic; 2) receiving mental and spiritual support from surrounding people; and 3) experiencing trustworthy. The findings demonstrate that it is imperative for nursing schools and clinical placements to provide nursing students with a positive and supportive environment in which to study and gain experience. This will enhance their academic success and enable them to become registered nurses in the future.
