analysis and mention the name of the analyser and
after that give conclusion/implication from the
result of analysis.

Investigating Identity Changes of Nursing
Students: A Visual Analysis
Listia Nursaidah
Sri Maryani
Nursing Academy
Health Polytechnic Tasikmalaya
Someone’s personality can change by
times and ages. Both environment factor and
association factor incredibly impact on
person personality changes. For instance, the
nursing students are required to have a good
personality, be friendly, be responsive to do
health services. Trough learning and
practicum activity as well as organization,
the nursing students can develop their
personality.
A good nursing personality is very
important since according to Hao et al (2014,
p, 137)
“A professional identity is a nursing self
concept that represents how nursing
students assess nursing professions or
values and beliefs that guide how nursing
students think, act and interact with
patients.”
This is the most important process of
professional socialization. Research shows
that achieving a nursing identity is an
important developmental task for teenagers
and young adults who choose class nursing.
The changes in learning process that
differs from senior high school period also
influence the changing of student nursing
character in the way of learning, either
individually or in groups. It is because the
learning process applied in the campus is a
Problem-Based Learning (PBL). According
to Savery & Duffy (1995, pp. 36-38)
"Problem based learning (PBL) as a
general model, was developed in medical
education in the mid-1950's since that time
it has been refined and implemented n over
sixty medical schools. The most
widespread application of the PBL
approach has been in the first two years of
medical science curricula, where it
replaces the traditional lecture based
approach to anatomy, physiology etc. …
PBL as we described it contrasts with a
variety of other problem or case based
approaches. Most case based learning
strategies use cases as a means for
testing one understanding. The case is
presented after the topic is covered in
order to help test understanding and
support synthesis. In contrast, in PBL,
all of the learning arises out of
consideration of the problem. From the
start, the learning is synthesized and
organized in the context of the
problem.”
The learning process in problem
based learning is demanding for the students.
The lecturer takes a role as a facilitator rather
than as the materials giver for the students
such like in senior high school. This activity
then requires students to prepare themselves
for the materials to read before entering the
class, so it requires them to more actively
seek information. The model servers the
problems in such a way that students find the
necessary learning needs so that they can
solve the problem, especially in terms of
learning about cases in nursing diagnoses.
Independent learning process on PBL
method can produce self directed learning,
including the increasing of knowledge, skill,
achievement and self-development where
individual uses many methods anytime and
anywhere.
Besides learning about nursing
problems, nursing students also get anti-
corruption education lesson (pendidikan
budaya anti korupsi) which was never been
founded at in senior high school level. That
learning aims at creating the candidate who
can avoid corruption and be professional
nurse who has anti-corruption cultures. It is
in line with Koo & Kim (2016, p .68) who
mention that
“Nursing students aims to become
professional nurses who can call on their
own abilities to take care of patients in
clinical fields. To become professional
nurses, students must have a clear
understanding of their capacities and
interests in the nursing profession.”
The project documented in this
writing was completed by using the visual
SHOWeD analysis photo voice conducted
during a month and intended to show
changes of nursing students in the
Polytechnic of health Kemenkes
Tasikmalaya. The photos were taken when
the students first entered the nursing class
where we still wore black and white
uniform until we could formally wear
nursing student academy uniform.
 Figure 1 : Example of SHOWeD Analysis

S - “What is SEEN here?”

Nursing student is standing with smile to the patient.
H - “What is really HAPPENING?”
Nursing students in the first semester exercising to speak therapeutic
communication and asked for agreement to patient before doing treatment.
O - “How does this relate to OUR lives?”
Before doing anything is better to speaking and asking for agreement the first,
don’t be careless doing something, especially relations with other people.
W - “WHY are things in this way?”
Because being a nurse requires a lot of exercise and study, moreover
terms of practicum at laboratories.
e - How could this image EDUCATE people?
Becoming nurses is not easy, it takes several processes, several things should be
done and we need to be able to manage our time.
D - What can I DO about it?
Doing exercise to give best treatment and be friendly to the patients.

The first time we know the

oxygen tube and practice
how to use it. From start
how to regulate the steam,
regulate the Oxygen
Pressure control and how to
pair it to the patient. This is
used for patients with
oxygen needs. It is easy but
we also must be careful.
 This is Dr. Alex from Russia.
He is an expert physician in
the field of maternity. He
delivered material on neonatal
emergency in Poltekkes
Kemenkes Tasikmalaya
followed by all Nursing
Students. It becomes our first
experiences get the presenter
foreigner from Russia.

Slides from the PBAK

material. From this slide,
nursing students learn about
corruption, what corruption is,
what kind of corruption, what
the impacts of corruption are,
how to eradicate it and the role
of students against corruption.
So we can avoid the
corruption behaviour.

This is when we presentation one

of the material from the Maternity
lesson. We are divided into
groups, each from the group
sending its representatives for a
presenter of reproductive diseases
and one becoming a moderator.
This is related to PBL system.
 One of nursing students of
Dokumentasi Keperawatan
lesson was writing down the
tasks given by the lecturer who
could come to the class.

This is a group of HIMA Jurusan

Keperawatan is one of the
organizations in Poltekkes
Kemenkes Tasikmalaya which
oversees the student nurses. At
our campus we must to have one
organization that we followed.

These are two nursing students

educating the dangers of Diabetes
Mellitus to their friends. This is
the task of the campus. They take
advantage of this opportunity
when English lesson is in the
form of outdoor learning.
