Abstract:

During Covid-19 pandemic, nursing students in clinical practice at hospitals and other health institution experience conditions that influenced the way they lived this learning moment. So, in this paper, our main goal was understanding the nursing students` perceptions about effects of COVID-19 pandemic in the teaching-learning process at context of clinical practice. According to the methodology adopted we performed individual interviews with ten nursing students at clinical practice in 2021. Data were treated through context analyses, after being transcribed and analyzed based in Bardin using a typical statistical software - WEBQDA.

Findings revealed that the students related feels like anxiety, fear if they contracted the virus themselves and they feel very nervous if clinical practice being interrupted or because of outbreaks in infirmary services. Participants emphasize that frequent interruptions compromise the learning continuity and generated great anxiety and insecurity.

Others feels that participants perceived are greater difficulty in establishing a therapeutic relationship with the patients due to the distance imposed by protective equipment and the generalized fear of the possibility of contagion.
