Abstract

Background: Gathering comprehensive patient information at the beginning of the shift is essential for effective nursing practice. Novice nursing students (NSs) feel highly anxious, and obtaining patient information is a challenge. There is limited knowledge regarding the ability of novice NSs to gather essential patient information from the previous shift. This study was conducted to assess the anxiety levels of novice NSs and the types of patient information obtained by them and sources that NSs utilized when they obtained patient information.
