    Abstract

    Published in collaboration with the University Medical Center Groningen.
    Burn-out and turnover rates among beginning Dutch nurses are high. One of the main reasons for this is the difficulty in adjusting to the tumultuous working environment or making it work in their favor. This is particularly hard for beginning nurses, as they do not have enough experience to reflect on their ordeals
    and take appropriate actions.
    One way to prompt their self-reflection is to provide focused questions within controlled situations that are believable and relatable. The contextualized guidance provides clarity and helps student nurses analyze tough situations in a safe and structured environment. Through this process, they are invited to
    reflect on what they could do differently, or whom they could reach out to for help.
