Abstract

Background: The school of nursing at the University of Wollongong developed an innovative approach entitled the ‘Students as Researchers Internship’ to provide an opportunity for students who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to experience research as co-researchers. This programme was developed in response to a need to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons who complete research degrees and progress to academic careers in nursing. The initial programme included two students who identified as Aboriginal women in their final year as bachelor of nursing students, with both employed as research assistants. Aim: This article aims to share the students’ perspective of their learnings from participating in the Students as Researchers Internship programme through a critical reflection using the Mezirow model of reflection. Conclusion: The opportunity to be a research assistant and co-researcher during the final year of the bachelor of nursing degree offered the students a platform to gain skills, and an understanding of the research process and the application of research in practice. It also provided the experience of being supported in their academic studies. Implications for practice: Mezirow’s model of reflection provides an effective framework for students to unearth their assumptions and learnings from experience Developing skills and experience in research can transform undergraduate students’ understanding of the application of research in their practice Participation in writing ethics applications and research publications offers students insight into the skills of referencing, academic writing and critical thinking The experience as co-researchers enabled students who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to consider future career opportunities in research
从护理专业本科学生到科研人员转变的反思
背景:卧龙岗大学护理学院开发了一种名为“学生作为研究人员实习”的创新方法,为原住民或托雷斯海峡岛民的学生提供了作为联合研究人员体验研究的机会。该方案的制定是为了满足增加土著和托雷斯海峡岛民完成研究学位并进入护理学术生涯的人数的需要。最初的方案包括两名在护理学士最后一年被认定为土著妇女的学生,两人都被聘为研究助理。目的:本文旨在通过使用Mezirow反思模型的批判性反思,分享学生在参加“研究生实习”计划中的学习观点。结论:在护理学士学位的最后一年,有机会成为研究助理和联合研究员,为学生提供了一个获得技能的平台,并了解研究过程和研究在实践中的应用。它还提供了在他们的学术研究中得到支持的经验。实践意义:Mezirow的反思模式为学生提供了一个有效的框架,让他们从经验中挖掘自己的假设和学习。发展研究技能和经验可以改变本科生对研究在实践中应用的理解。参与撰写伦理申请和研究出版物为学生提供对参考文献、学术写作和批判性思维技能的见解作为联合研究人员的经历使那些认为自己是原住民或托雷斯海峡岛民的学生能够考虑未来的研究职业机会
