Claire Gibbs is a Senior Clinical Research Nurse and is studying for an MSc in Nursing Studies. Here she talks about her research.
“I undertook primary research for my dissertation. My particular interest is in supporting nurses of the future. So when I noticed a gap in the literature around investigating student nurses’ experiences of research whilst on their clinical placements, I chose that as the topic of my research.
I carried out a qualitative study which involved interviewing pre-registration degree level student nurses about their experiences. Interviews were up to 30 minutes in length with additional time beforehand for informed consent and any questions.
