ABSTRACT
Numerous studies have explored the challenges nurses face in various
clinical settings. However, there has been a noticeable gap in research focused
specifically on bedside nurses assigned to surgery wards in Dumaguete City, despite
the demanding and often overlooked nature of this role. These nurses are routinely
exposed to emotionally taxing environments, unpredictable schedules, and
institutional constraints that significantly affect their professional and personal
well-being, As student nurses, the researchers were deeply moved by their own
clinical exposure to the hardships faced by these nurses, witnessing first-hand the
toll of long hours, limited staffing, and overwhelming workloads, This motivated
them to understand more deeply the lived experiences of bedside nurses, and to
highlight their stories in a way that could promote better awareness, appreciation,
and support for their profession. The central question guiding the study was: "What
are the lived experiences of bedside nurses working in surgery wards in Dumaguete
City?" To ensure a structured and In-depth interpretation of the participants'
narratives, the study employed a descriptive qualitative design, guided by Colalzzi's
method (1978). Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with four bedside
nurses, the researchers uncovered layers of emotional, physical, and professional
challenges shaped by the complex realities of hospital care.
