Abstract
Role transition shock represents the initial reaction by new nurses to the
experience of moving from the protected environment of academia to the
unfamiliar and expectant context of professional practice. Many factors need to
be considered when examining the transition period, such as the stressful nature
of the process, feelings of preparedness, confidence in clinical skills and
decision making, and the need for support and socialization into the role. The
aim of this study was to assess factors leading to role transition shock among
intern students. Design: Descriptive research design. Setting: conducted at
randomly selected five faculties(Cairo Faculty of Nursing - Banha Faculty of
Nursing - Tanta Faculty of Nursing - Menofiya Faculty of Nursing - Beni Suef
Faculty of Nursing). Subjects: A systematic random sample was used to select
294 intern students from a before mentioned faculties. Tools: One tool was
used for data collection, questionnaire to assess the leading factors to the role
transition shock among intern students. Results: The intern nursing students
sample agreed that the most perceived role for them was as a patient advocate,
followed by their role as a communicator and caregiver respectively. The most
intern nursing students sample agreed that the most factors leading to role
transition shock among them were organizational factors, followed by social
and educational factors respectively. There was an effect of intern students’
perception of their role on their liability to role transition shock. Conclusion: it
is concluded that the most intern nursing students sample agreed that the most
factors leading to role transition shock among them were organizational factors.
