A descriptive survey was conducted to investigate the perceptions of student nurses about the community as a clinical learning environment. Thirty nine students (21 second years and 18 third years) participated in the study. A seven-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to obtain data on how nursing students perceived the community as a clinical learning environment in facilitating their personal and academic development. The questionnaire items were categorised according to (a) independence on learning, (b) opportunities for learning, peer support, (d) organisational support, (e) quality of supervision, (f) role clarity, and (g) satisfaction with chosen career. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the eight clinical learning variables studied, means scores and standard deviations of seven variables yielded positive perceptions of students about the community as a clinical learning environment. On Spearman rank correlation all the variables correlated positively with personal and academic development. A difference on three variables, personal and academic development, opportunities for learning and satisfaction with chosen career was found between perceptions of second and third year students on analysis of variance (ANOVA). In two variables, that is, personal and academic development and satisfaction with nursing as a chosen career, the second year students were more positive than third year students. Third year students perceived the community negatively with regard to opportunities for learning.

Introduction: Exposure to the clinical learning environment is indispensable for the nursing students as it provides experiences which are basic and significant to the development of professional skills as well as bridge the theory-practice gap. Despite the importance of clinical learning, nursing students’ attitudes in the clinical environment has been a concern.Purpose: This paper reviewed the attitude of nursing students towards work in the clinical learning environment.Method: Electronic searches using scholarly databases were employed and only significant articles that met the review objective were utilized.Findings: This review revealed that there is a high rate of unauthorized student nurses’ absenteeism as majority are absent from clinical work without permission. There is also an appalling display of lateness behavior as students arrive at work after the scheduled time. Interestingly, most students are willing to carry out procedures while some are nonchalant due to the stressful and anxiety provoking tasks. Student nurses felt that there is an unspoken comparison, discrimination and disrespect displayed by their seniors and medical colleagues towards them.Conclusion: There is overwhelming evidence from literature supporting the negative attitudes of nursing students in the clinical environment. It was therefore recommended that students should be psychologically prepared in their schools before exposure to the clinical environment. There should be an effort to build students’ self-esteem and professional self-concept by the relevant authorities. Finally, to bridge the rift between inter-professionals, there is need for more social interaction opportunities where everyone will value what each member contributes to the team.

Background: Registered nurses’ willingness to precept nursing students is an important factor in ensuring a positive clinical learning environment. However, in resource poor settings with high patient to nurse ratio and other challenges in the delivery of nursing care preceptorship may represent an additional challenge.Aim: To determine the willingness of registered nurses to precept student nurses in Jamaica; their attitude towards the paired preceptorship model and factors which may influence the precepting process.Design: This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized a 32-item self-administered questionnaire to collect data from 76 full-time registered nurses assigned to medical/surgical wards at a major teaching hospital.Results: Nurses had a positive attitude towards precepting (97%) and believed their actions and attitudes positively influenced the learning outcomes of students. Two-thirds of registered nurses (63%) were willing to precept students and 87% preferred the paired preceptorship model. Self-efficacy (p<0.05) best explained their willingness to participate in both paired preceptorship and clinical teaching associate models while, normative beliefs regarding clinical learning environment was significant predictor of overall willingness.Conclusion: Registered nurses studied displayed positive attitude towards preceptorship and were willing to precept students. Policy makers should note that the paired preceptorship model was favoured by the group and that personal satisfaction and professional development were motivating factors for nurses’ willingness to precept students. Formal training opportunities are needed to enhance students’ clinical learning experience. Keywords: Precept; Willingness; Registered Nurses; Student Nurses; Jamaica.

The research sought to determine the attitude of student nurses towards their clinical placement: clinical learning environment, communication with supervisor – mentor, and their satisfaction with the recently completed clinical placement. The research was performed by 283 students of the first to third study year from two Northwest regional higher education institutions for nurses in Lithuania. The students have recently completed their clinical placement at regional hospitals. A quantitative descriptive correlational design was used. The research instrument used was the paper version of the CLES (Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision) questionnaire. The research results revealed that more than half of the students were satisfied with their recently completed clinical placement. Their satisfaction was related to the study year. The student nurses were the most positive about the possibility to approach the members of staff during clinical placement and the fact that there were sufficient meaningful learning cases and situations during clinical placement. Clinical placement of the student nurses was supervised and assessed by supervisors – registered nurses (N=133) and ward managers (N=135). The student nurses assessed their personal contribution in clinical placement as good and very good. Those, who specified the highest personal contribution in their clinical placement, assessed the clinical learning environment the best. The most satisfied students were supervised individually during their clinical placements.

Abstract Background Clinical experience is a crucial activity for nursing students. The way students` perceive clinical placement exerts an immense influence on the learning process. This study aims to test the psychometric properties of a 19-item version of the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory under Polish clinical conditions. Method For this study, Discriminant validity and Cronbach’s alpha reliabilities were computed. In order to measure content validity, the criterion validity Generalized Self Efficacy Scale and the Life Orientation Test - Revised were used. Results Cronbach’s Alpha for the Clinical Facilitator Support of Learning Scale and the Satisfaction with Clinical Placement scale is 0.949 and 0.901, respectively. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient indicates the existence of a positive correlation between the students’ satisfaction with clinical placement and their [overall] life optimism. Age correlates negatively with perceived teacher support and positively with satisfaction with clinical placement. The sense of self-efficacy correlates negatively with their satisfaction with clinical placement. Clinical Learning Environment Inventory − 19 could be a useful tool to evaluate the quality of the clinical learning process in Polish conditions.
