An online 5-week professional identity program for nursing student in clinical rotation practice during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic: a two-arm randomized trial

Professional identity is a strong predictor of job retention and is associated with professional commitment, professional activities and job satisfaction, which has been gaining attention in recent decades. (Chenevert et al., 2016, Hu et al., 2022, Niskala et al., 2020) Clinical internship practice is a key stage when nursing students transform theoretical knowledge into clinical practice and start to build or evolve their professional identity based on their experience. Meanwhile, since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019, the restrictions has strongly influenced the professional identity of nursing students as well as nursing education in both positive and negative ways. (Shun, 2021) In addition, the restrictions also challenged the delivery form of professional identity education, as many offline courses and lectures were cancelled, and some schools even launched online internship practices. Therefore, a structured, feasible and effective professional identity intervention program is necessary and important to help improve nursing students’ professional identity in clinical internship practice during the COVID-19 restrictions. This study built a structured online professional identity program and evaluated its acceptance and effectiveness from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives.
