“…Based on these comparisons and the above explanation, it is possible to say that nursing students may frequently encounter absence of continuity of placement, the presence of a mentor and time underpinned empowering experiences, raising problems of low self-esteem, motivation for quitting learning and negative regard for placement [30].…”

“…In this context, nursing students are not allowed to join fully in clinical practice and may be treated as 'a pair of hands', removed from situations of potentially rich learning. Bradbury-Jones et al [30] categorized three words for empowerment, which included: 1) leaning in practice (i.e., being understood, encouraged to learn and having responsibility), 2) team membership (i.e., being part of the team), and 3) power (i.e., justice, respect and having a voice).

ORIGINAL ARTICLE Effects of Bullying Experience on Psychological Well-Being Mediated by Conflict Management Styles and Psychological Empowerment among Nursing Students in Clinical Placement: A Structural Equation Modeling ApproachRen, Liping 1 · Kim, Hyunli Purpose: This study aimed to test a proposed structural equation model in which bullying experience, conflict management styles and psychological empowerment predict psychological well-being among Chinese nursing students in clinical placement. Methods: Three hundred and sixtysix nursing students recruited from five hospitals in J city and Y city were assessed with self-report questionnaires on bullying experience, conflict management styles, psychological empowerment and psychological well-being including depression, self-esteem, and academic major satisfaction. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 and AMOS version 22.0. Results: The evaluation parameters included the comparative fit index at .90, the goodness of fit index at .93, the root mean square error of approximation at .07, and c 2 /df ratio at 2.66, indicating that the proposed structural equation model provided a good fit to the data. Experience of being bullied during clinical placement, conflict management styles and psychological empowerment explained 93.0% of the variance and had significant effects on psychological well-being, with conflict management styles and psychological empowerment mediating the association between bullying and psychological well-being. Conclusion: The findings indicated that mediation by conflict management styles and psychological empowerment alleviated the negative influence of bullying on psychological well-being. To limit bullying and its negative effects, development of effective guidelines to deal with bullying will be a critical tool for both Chinese nursing students and their instructors. Further research should incorporate conflict management styles and psychological empowerment into the specific intervention strategies for handling bullying behaviors among nursing students and staff nurses and promoting nursing students' psychological well-being.Key words: Nursing students; Bullying; Depression; Self concept; Personal satisfaction INTRODUCTIONNursing shortage is a global issue, more serious in China than in many developed counties [1,2]. Increasing retention of nursing students is essential for shortage in nursing profession, but about a third of new graduate nurses intend to leave their occupation because of experiencing bullying [3]. Due to a high risk of being bullied in clinical placement, nursing students have low level of psychological well-being and do not able to successfully transform from undergraduate students to new graduate nurses [4...

“…They were worried about it having an adverse affect on their grades in clinical practice. Fear of reprisal was also noted elsewhere as a source of disempowerment by nursing students (Bradbury-Jones, Sambrook & Irvine, 2007). This finding has implications for those who carry out the data collection aspect of the PRA or indeed other action research or student evaluation processes.…”

“…En oppmuntrende veileder kan ha avgjørende betydning for studentens selvfølelse og motivasjon for laering. Kontinuitet i praksis og tilstrekkelig tid er andre viktige faktorer for at studenten skal utvikle selvstendighet (35). Det å bli verdsatt som person, student og teammedlem har også stor betydning.…”
